Not that off topic, the Philippines are a massive user of Koha. All the public libraries as well as the National library use Koha. So I am sure there are quite a few on the list. Chris On 13/11/2013 4:56 AM, "Fred King" <kohauser@phred.us> wrote:
Thoroughly off-topic, for which I apologize, but since the list's subscribers are all over the world some of you may know of libraries in the Philippines that would benefit from this.

All,
The National Library of Medicine announces the activation of the Emergency Access Initiative in support of medical efforts in the Philippines and surrounding areas following the devastating typhoon. The Emergency Access Initiative is a collaborative partnership between NLM and participating publishers to provide free access to full-text articles from over 650 biomedical serial titles and over 4,000 reference books and online databases to healthcare professionals and libraries affected by disasters.
The Emergency Access Initiative serves as a temporary collection replacement and/or supplement for libraries affected by disasters that need to continue to serve medical staff and affiliated users. It is also intended for medical personnel responding to the specified disaster.
EAI is not an open access collection - it is only intended for those affected by the disaster or assisting the affected population. If your library is working with a library or organization involved in relief efforts in the Philippines or other affected areas, please let them know of this service.
