Spring 2003 -- Volume 34, Number 2 |
New Web pages highlighting the characteristics and resources of the Pacific Northwest and the states of the region are now available at the NN/LM Pacific Northwest Region Web site.
Staff of the NN/LM PNR often have questions about the region and states that these pages are designed to answer. For example: How is the minority population of the region different from the U.S. as a whole? What parts of the region are designated frontier areas? Where are the Health Personnel Shortage Areas?
Since the RML occasionally has to look for answers to these and other questions about our region, we thought that others might find these pages useful as well. They could be helpful for regional network members applying for RML outreach grants, miniawards or funding from the RML, NLM, and other agencies and organizations. These pages will provide information to use when describing the characteristics, demographics, health status, and geographic area for a proposal. The series begins with "Regional Characteristics" which includes a demographic table for quick reference. Separate pages about Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington are linked from here. Each state page provides a description and map, along with selected links that describe the organization, populations and health status of the state.
The pages were researched and developed by Liisa Rogers, University of Washington Information School MLIS student, and graduate assistant for the NN/LM PNR, in consultation with PNR staff. The new "Regional Characteristics" address is: http://nnlm.gov/pnr/characteristics/
We hope you will find these resources both interesting and useful. Please send your comments and suggestions to: nnlm@u.washington.edu
