Abstract

Development of subject specific gophers is one method to make valuable medical information more accessible to those who need it. The National Library of Medicine has developed a gopher that provides access to information produced by many areas of the library. Recommendations from subject experts in 2 ares: AIDS and toxicology; and environmental health; led to the development of 2 subject specific gophers. These gophers services provide organized access to resource outside of the library as well as to information produced internally. Concludes that a number of important issues need to be addressed when selecting and organizing outside resources for inclusion in such a service
