Fall 2004 -- Volume 35, Number 4 |
On December 2nd and 3rd 2004 the National Library of Medicine hosted the Symposium on Community-Based Health Information Outreach at the Library's Lister Hill Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The stated goal of the symposium was to "explore new models of health information outreach that are emerging as technology dramatically changes the abilities of medical and health services libraries to provide resources and services beyond their traditional institutional boundaries." Emphasis was placed on how to accomplish consumer health information outreach by working with community-based organizations. The National Library of Medicine's Strategic Plan to Reduce Health Disparities 2004 - 2008 was presented and used as a vehicle for discussion of community-based outreach. Knowledge and insights gained from the Symposium will be used to inform the request for proposal (RFP) for the next National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) contract.
The Web site for the symposium has been updated to include the Webcast archives of the proceedings and the presentations of the speakers, as well as white papers that speakers submitted prior to the event. Numbers of participants also did poster presentations at the symposium. The abstracts for the posters are also available online. The proceedings of the Symposium will be published in a special supplement to the Journal of the Medical Library Association.
This publication is funded in whole with Federal funds from the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, under Contract No. N01-LM-1-3516.
