Observation of Hispanic Heritage Month began on September 15, the anniversary of independence for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Mexico declared its independence on September 16 and Chile on September 18. The celebration extends through October 14, 2007. (http://www.factmonster.com/spot/hhm1.html).

If you plan to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, you may want to obtain some NN/LM SE/A’s MedlinePlus.gov® and Pubmed.gov capability cards and MedlinePlus.gov® bookmarks in Spanish. Please email mbayerme@hshsl.umaryland.edu if you are interested in ordering capability cards or bookmarks. Please state which ones you would like and how many of each.

Reminder, NN/LM SE/A also has classes available for librarians, such as, ¿No Comprende? Spanish Health Information Resources for English Speaking Librarians and Vive La Vida sana recursos sobre la salud para bibliotecarios que hablan español. See http://nnlm.gov/sea/training/classes.html for more information about our classes.
