Abstract
Literature searches are necessary to find answers to many toxicological issues. Fortunately, today we are no longer reliant on time-consuming searches in reference books, but can make use of the Internet as an important tool for gathering information. A lot of information including complete substance assessments is easily available and free of charge. Because of the large variety of possible data sources, however, literature searches are difficult to undertake and in addition can take a lot of time. Depending on the particular issue of research, different searching strategies should be used.
