The Nutrient Data Laboratory Web site gets a new look.

摘要

The Nutrient Data Laboratory Web site, along with all Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Web sites, has a new look. The basic appearance is similar to the United States Department of Agriculture Web site, but with some navigational categories unique to ARS sites. The purpose of these changes is to make ARS Web sites more uniform in navigation, enhancing overall ease of use. Navigation tools now found on our Web site include links to: About Us, Research, Products & Services, People and Places, News and Events, Partnering, and Careers. Partnering, a section recently added to the Web site, includes information detailing our numerous research collaborations with scientists in educational institutions, research laboratories, the food industry and other federal agencies as well as our award-winning partnerships for technology transfer. The online search program, our most frequently accessed feature, remains prominently displayed on our Home Page, continuing to give users fast access to nutrient information on a specific food. This popular program has been upgraded, supporting enhanced search techniques and the capability to customize portion sizes for food component reports. The NDL Web site is the principal means of dissemination of food composition data from the National Nutrient Databank System and receives an average of over 110 000 visitors per month..
