(Note: The Scottish Addiction Studies On-line library at:
http://www.dass.stir.ac.uk/drugs/library.htm
tries to bring together the most useful on-line alcohol and drugs documents
together in a single website. Currently the site will give you access to
around 7,500 on-line documents and downloads. I welcome suggestions for
books, reports etc. to be included. I am still attempting to source
European language versions of the EuropASI (or, indeed other instruments) .
I try to add the "best of the rest each month" and notify the EWODOR and
Alcohol Misuse lists. However, please bear with me as this is very much a
single-handed operation and there is a lot of pressure on my time - RY).
PLEAS NOTE: We have a new address (as above) the old address will continue
to automatically redirect you for the forseeable future. We are still here
despite the previously reported funding difficulties but the lack of funding
does mean that the Library can not be as assiduously maintained as in the
past and new additions will not be quite so regular.
