DESCRIPTION
The Animal Health Division of Inra is gradually setting up a current awareness system with the aim of obtaining strategic support and a set of tools available on the Internet. Its aims are to facilitate direct communication with professional partners in order to establish a real dialogue, based on two complementary tools: CERISA, the animal health and veterinary public health portal, and VELISA, a French-language current awareness and literature search tool for animal health.TRANSCRIPT
