The National Documentation Centre on Drug Use (NDC) launched its new website in July. The NDC adapted Eprints, an application used to develop research repositories in universities around the world, to create the new system. It allows the NDC to integrate all its digital collections in one easily searchable database.
One of the key aims of Ireland's National Drugs Strategy 2001–2008 was to make available 'valid, timely and comparable data on the extent and nature of drug misuse in Ireland'. It is important that high-quality research information is made accessible to, and informs the work of, policy-makers, service planners and service providers. The NDC’s new website will help to strengthen its contribution to this process of knowledge transfer during the implementation of the new drugs strategy.
