Why is NLM-SIS creating WISER?
Part of the mission of NLM is to ensure that information from NLM makes its way into the hands of people who need it. SIS maintains toxicology and environmental health resources. In reviewing potential users that could use SIS information, but may not have been using it to its fullest extent, First Responders to chemical incidents were identified. It was then decided that while the TOXNET web site was an excellent resource for them, it was not accessible on scene; the solution was to provide a version that would fit in a PDA.
