The Dalhousie College of Pharmacy has updated their sites - "Drug Information Resources: A Guide for Pharmacists" and "Internet Tutorial for Pharmacists - Finding Drug Information on the Web", these are two useful drug information resources for pharmacists.

Drug Information Resources: A Guide for Pharmacists (DIR) is organized to assist pharmacists in locating drug information. Useful resources are now organized under 58 categories in an easily accessible table of contents. The resources were selected by pharmacists and other health professionals who specialize in areas relating to the categories in their table of contents. In addition, DIR has a new look.

Internet Tutorial for Pharmacists: Finding Drug Information on the Web (ITP) has also been updated. The intent of ITP is to assist pharmacists in becoming familiar with using the Internet to locate and evaluate drug information. Scenarios have been created around frequently needed types of drug/pharmacy/health information and describe a logical approach to locating the information. They have updated some of the scenarios and have given ITP a new look.
