              environmental health information resources


A new meta-search and clustering tool for toxicology and environmental
health information resources is available from the National Library of
Medicine/NLM (http://www.nlm.nih.gov).

ToxSeek (http://toxseek.nlm.nih.gov/) is a meta-search and clustering
engine that enables simultaneous searching of many different toxicology
and environmental health information resources on the World Wide Web.
ToxSeek uses natural language processing and artificial intelligence to
retrieve, integrate, rank, and present search results as coherent and
dynamic sets. 

ToxSeek's "results clustering" feature helps users to more easily
identify particular concepts. These clusters are created from what is
retrieved in the original query, and can be useful in uncovering a
specific concept or focus for more in-depth searching.

ToxSeek searches across a wide range of authoritative sources including:

*	All TOXNET databases (http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov)
*	Additional selected resources from the National Library of
Medicine (NLM), including PubMed 
*	Resources from other NIH institutes, and
toxicology/environmental health information from other United 	States
government agencies 
*	Selected international resources, such as the World Health
Organization (WHO) 
*	Resources from professional societies and scientific
organizations.
