The Carcinogenic Potency Database (CPDB) is a widely used resource on
the results of chronic, long-term animal cancer tests. It provides a
single, standardized and easily accessible database that includes
sufficient information on each experiment to permit investigations into
many research areas of carcinogenesis. Both qualitative and quantitative
information on positive and negative experiments are given, including
all bioassays from the National Cancer Institute/National Toxicology
Program (NCI/NTP) and results from the general literature that meet a set
of inclusion criteria.

Haven't been paying attention so this may already have been
mentioned but the following citation says that physicians self report
150 hours a year for journal reading.

Subject: Health & Medicine *What's New* Sources
As far as I've been able to tell, there isn't a "one stop shopping"
site for new Internet sites in Health and Medicine. So I've put
together a little page that takes a step toward providing that. This
page gives quick access to Yahoo:Health - What's New listings, which
are available from Yahoo, but not with multiple days listed together
by subject. It also includes access to What's New listings from
Medical Matrix.
All are invited to visit "Health & Medicine What's New Sources" at
URL - http://www.arcade.uiowa.edu/hardin-www/mednew.html
Please alert me to other lists that should be pointed to from this,
or better yet, tell me if you know of any other net sites that already
serve the same purpose (I'd be happy for someone else to take this
on!)

GPO PROVIDES FREE ACCESS TO ALL GPO ACCESS DATABASES
The U.S. Government Printing Office announced free use of GPO
Access online services beginning December 1, 1995. All Internet
and dial-in users can receive electronically, at no charge, the
Congressional Record, Federal Register, congressional bills, and
a growing list of government documents on the same day of
publication.
Until now, GPO Access has been free only to users on-site in some
600 of the Nation's nearly 1,400 Federal Depository Libraries and
to remote users connecting through more than 20 depository
library "gateways." It was available to others on a subscription
basis. Under the new program, the subscription fee has been
dropped.
GPO Access currently includes the following databases:
Congressional Bills (103d and 104th Congress)
Congressional Calendars (104th Congress)
Congressional Directory (1995-96)
Congressional Documents (104th Congress)
Congressional Record (103d and 104th Congress)
Congressional Record Indexes (1992-1995)
Congressional Reports (104th Congress)
Economic Indicators (April 1995 forward)
Federal Register (1994 and 1995)
GAO Reports (FY 1995 forward)
Government Manual (1995-96)
History of Bills (103d and 104th Congress)
Public Laws (104th Congress)
Unified Agenda (1994 and 1995)
U.S. Code (basic)
GPO Access can be reached via the Internet or by dial-in through
a modem. The following access methods are as follows:
URL: http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/
WAIS client software
Telnet: swais.access.gpo.gov; then login as guest.
Dial-in: 202-512-1661; type swais and then log in as guest.
In more than 20 States, users with modems can connect to GPO
Access through depository library "gateways" with a local phone
call. Listings of depository libraries and "gateways" can be
found on the Superintendent of Documents' home page. General
information on accessing these databases is available by e-mail:
help@eids05.eids.gpo.gov ; phone: 202-512-1530; or
fax: 202-512-1262. Questions about the GPO Access service can
also be directed to a nearby Federal Depository Library. At
least one such library is located in each Congressional district.
