Case Study – National Library of Medicine
The Challenge: The National Library of
Medicine had volumes of data in various databases and required a
simple and convenient way to access the information as required.
The Solution: A customer implementation of
our search engine on a suite of web sites: Toxnet and
DirLine.
Results: The National Library of Medicine (NLM) now
has a powerful search interface for a large collection of toxicology
databases from the EPA and NLM. Check out our search engine as
it is used in these applications.
