Introduction

The InterNICHE Alternatives Loan System is an evolving library of multimedia CD-ROMs, videos, models and mannequins. It covers fields such as anatomy, physiology and surgery. Teachers and students from anywhere in the world can borrow items from the Loan System to trial them. This gives you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with some of the best products available.

All items in the Loan System have been chosen with reference to meeting teaching objectives for practical classes where animals are used harmfully in some university departments, or to shift the emphasis away from the invasive animal lab towards alternative approaches. Many of the products have individually or in combination with other tools and approaches already replaced harmful animal use. It is often teachers who have developed the products themselves in order to better the learning environment for their students.

Products are listed by discipline, then medium, and finally alphabetically. Details of each product can usually be found by clicking on the link to the producer. Note that InterNICHE does not produce or sell these products. To contact the producers themselves please click on the links. If you make a purchase later, please mention InterNICHE - thanks.


Borrowing

To borrow an item, please contact Monika Percic at this address: loansystem@interniche.org. Borrowing periods are usually for up to 6 weeks. You will be asked for full contact details, and a reference name and address. Borrowing is free - you just pay the return postage. If the product is damaged or not returned at all, you will be invoiced. Products must not be copied.

There are practical limitations on where some items can be sent, and borrowers from the United States and Canada are requested to check their regional organisations・loan systems first for the same products.

Feedback

Both InterNICHE and the producers would appreciate feedback from teachers and students on the products. This can help with tailoring current products and developing new ones.

Most products are designed for undergraduate-level university education.
Some can also be used at high-school and are labelled  H. Unless otherwise stated, all products are in English, all CD-ROMs are for MS=Windows and MacOS, and the format of videos is PAL VHS (European format)
