Description
Summary:The Arid Lands Information Center (ALIC) is the Information Collection and Dissemination Unit for the Arizona Center for Phytomedicine Research (ACPRx), which received funding from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine and Office of Dietary Supplements at the National Institutes of Health. Besides providing research support to scientists in the College of Pharmacy, the College of Medicine, and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at the University of Arizona, ALIC is responsible for creating the ACPRx web site to provide information to the public about ACPRx project activities and to direct consumers to reliable sources of information about herbal medicine. This paper will describe the ACPRx project and challenges faced in finding the most effective way to support the researchers and the goals of the project.
