ABSTRACT
The Nevada Applied Ecology Information Center (NAEIC) has initiated
additional approaches to selecting and disseminating information to
the Nevada Applied Ecology Group (NAEG).
Attempts to keep the NAEG
and its contractors informed on developments reported in literature
include:
(2)
(1) sending a monthly reference listing of new documents,
alerting researchers to incoming documents that match needs,
and
(3) conducting bimonthly or quarterly individualized updated searches
from the computerized information file.
Information from classified
documents is being selected, cleared, and entered into the computerized file.
The NAEIC is collaborating with the scientific staff of
the Comparative Animal Research Laboratory, ORNL, on a computerized
file of tabular data on plutonium in mammals.

The Information Center now attempts
to supplement this objective by sending a monthly reference listing
of new documents (over 100/month) to NAEG contractors who have requested it.
From the reference listing, contractors can request
copies of documents of interest and the Information Center will
