Toeroek’s standard practice is to digitize information and documents so that it can be searched and reviewed more quickly. Under a FIFRA work assignment, Toeroek obtained a collection of over 5,000 documents on multiple CDs. Toeroek imported these documents into databases that enabled the user to search across text of the documents. Based on FIFRA instructions, Toeroek searched the database and quickly identified a collection of potentially relevant documents. These documents were indexed and packaged in an Access database with an easy to use interface that enabled FIFRA staff to filter, sort and view the identified documents by various categories. The Access database also contained fields for notes and comments. The database system saved FIFRA significant time in identifying the documents relevant to the subject case and helped facilitate a multi-million dollar settlement for the EPA.
