Abstract

The InterNICHE Alternatives Loan System is an evolving library of alternatives for application in life science education and training. Based in Slovenia, the alternatives are available for free loan world wide. The Alternatives Loan System was established during 2001-2002 as a resource primarily for borrowers to familiarise themselves with the diversity and quality of existing alternatives, and to trial individual products. Over 100 CD-ROMs, videos, simulators and training mannekins are included for their pedagogical value and potential to replace common dissections and animal experiments within all life science disciplines. Borrowers include teachers, students, animal ethics committees, government ministries, organisations and campaigners in over 30 countries. The Alternatives Loan.
