[Koha] OT: Resources for the Philippines

[Fred King]

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.
