 IACLE Information Interface
September 2006
Information Interface is an IACLE-provided resource that includes useful information and/or the location of information that can be accessed readily.
Information is gleaned monthly from newsletters, journals, abstracts, magazines, relevant websites, and professional associations, as well as manufacturers of contact lenses, lens care products, and clinical and/or research instrumentation.
For some websites, registration [at no charge] may be required for initial access. Some websites offer free electronic newsletters (e-zines).
Most journals offer abstracts at no charge but usually, full texts are not available free-of-charge unless your institution has an arrangement with the publishers, you are a member of an affiliated organization, you have a personal subscription, or you agree to pay for individual articles [often an expensive route]).
