FRENCH MONITORING CENTRE FOR DRUGS AND DRUG ADDICTION
Anne de L’Eprevier and Isabelle Michot,  Librarians, OFDT
The new bibliographic database of the OFDT (French Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction) has recently been made available from the homepage of the OFDT's website: www.ofdt.fr.
One can select the language “English” and the terms of the thesaurus are translated into English. A large part of the documents are English language publications.
This new tool includes the OFDT's own database (11, 000 references), the Toxibase database (36, 000 references, managed until 2006 by the French network of documentation centers) and a unique collection of French law texts with full access to the legislative documents.
The main topics covered by the documents described in this database are ATOD effects, use and consequences, public health policies, drug markets, harm reduction, and treatment and prevention.
With the closure of the MILDT's (Interministerial Mission for the Fight against Drugs and Drug Addiction) documentation library one year ago and the closure of several regional centers of the Toxibase network, the OFDT became the French ATOD documentation reference center.   But, unlike the Mildt and the regional centers, the OFDT's documentation center is not open to the public, as it was created for the OFDT's researchers.
The OFDT's journals collection has doubled this year with a total of about 70 titles (almost half published in English). An inventory of the journals will be added to the database, after needed cleaning of indexes!
The library also collects governmental and research reports, grey literature and books; book holdings comprise nearly 2000 titles. (Information supplied September 2010.)

Drug Discrimination is widely recognized as one of the major methods for studying the behavioral and neuropharmacological effects of drugs and plays an important role in drug discovery and investigations of drug abuse. This WWW page provides access to Dr. Ian Stolerman's ongoing Comprehensive Bibliography of Drug Discrimination Research. The bibliography is a list of 3,128 references published between 1951 and 2000, and includes abstracts, journal articles, book chapters and books. Each reference is followed by a list of standardized keywords which were used to index the bibliography. Most of the keywords are generic drug names but they also include methodological terms, species studied and drug classes. This index makes it possible to selectively retrieve references according to the drugs used as the training stimuli, drugs used as test stimuli, drugs used as pretreatments, species, etc. Mostly in English.
