NLM recently released a new Find a Hospital (http://apps.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/directories/index.cfm) directory search. From MedlinePlus, users can search for information on over 6,000 hospitals in the U.S., including address, specialty, services provided, and driving directions. The hospital data comes from the American Hospital Association, with MapQuest providing the mapping feature. The Find a Hospital Directory will be linked from the MedlinePlus Directories page (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/directories.html).
The MedlinePlus team is happy to announce a new page called Information for Librarians and Trainers (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/training/trainers.html). The page includes links to training materials from NLM, NN/LM, and a zipped sample Interactive Health Tutorial for use in demos when there is no Internet connection available. A downloadable version of the MedlinePlus tour will be coming soon.
At the moment the page is available only in English; watch for the Spanish version of the page in the coming weeks.
PubMed Central (PMC) (http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/) has added quite a few new journals in the past few months. An easy way to keep up with the ever-growing journal titles is to subscribe to the PMC News announcement list (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mailman/listinfo/pmc-news). Also, the PMC Journal List page now has a New search tab showing titles added within the last 60 days.

NIHSeniorHealth (http://www.nihseniorhealth.gov) now has a "printer-friendly" version. This change allows users to easily print NIHSeniorHealth content. Previously, printing a topic involved printing dozens of individual screens. Now, by clicking the new printer-friendly icon on the left menu, users can print selected chapters or a complete topic such as "Arthritis" or "Prostate Cancer."
In addition to the "printer-friendly" version, the accessibility buttons at the top of every NIHSeniorHealth page are easier to use. The text size button allows for more text sizes. The contrast and speech options clearly indicate whether those features are on or off. NIHSeniorHealth now also provides a new message, when necessary, to remind users to turn off their browser pop-up blocker when they choose the speech option.
The NN/LM is pleased to announce a new resource: Public Health Information and Data: A Training Manual, available from PHPartners.org at: http://phpartners.org/phid_manual.html. This manual provides background material and case studies that may be used to support training events developed for public health workers. Chapters address the following broad areas:
The manual may be downloaded as a PDF or Word file. It is in the public domain and may be adapted and copied freely. Suggestions for its enhancement and reports of its use are encouraged and may be shared using feedback forms available at: http://phpartners.org/phid_manual.html.
Has this happened to you? You schedule a class for your clients. Many people seem excited about attending the class. Then on the day of the class none of them show up.
To assist Network members in enticing more attendees to commit to attending classes, the NN/LM SCR and the NLM have acquired Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) credits available for classes that you can offer to your attendees.
The NLM has six classes accredited for CME through NIH/FAES (http://nnlm.gov/train/nlmsys/):
The NN/LM SCR has three one-hour classes accredited for CNE through the Texas Nurses Association (TNA) (http://nnlm.gov/scr/edn/cne.htm):
Note: All states except California and Iowa accept TNA accredited courses.
The class websites include the instructions, forms and other resources to conduct the class. There is some paperwork involved in offering CME or CNE through the NLM and NN/LM SCR, but the process is quite easy. Because some of the CME and CNE classes overlap in content, you can offer both for the same class. The nurses receive CNE and the physicians and other healthcare professionals receive CME.
Please contact me with any questions.

The National Eye Institute (http://www.nei.nih.gov/) was established in 1968 by Congress with the goal of protecting and prolonging the vision of the American people. NEI supports research through 1600 research grants and training awards for scientists around the country. Funding supports research in sight preservation and visual impairment reduction by investigating many potentially blinding eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. In addition, the NEI develops public and professional education programs to help reduce visual impairment and prevent blindness.
The NEI provides a significant number of resources for consumers, including information on topics such as macular degeneration, cataracts, and low vision issues (http://www.nei.nih.gov/health/). Basic information about eye anatomy and a glossary of vision-related terms is also available. Many of these resources are available in Spanish as well (http://www.nei.nih.gov/health/espanol/index.asp).
An important consumer health resource provided by NEI is the Eye Health Organizations database (http://www.nei.nih.gov/health/resourceSearch.asp), which provides contact information for a variety of vision-related issues and eye diseases.
For librarians and health professionals, the NEI provides access to research funding opportunities, news releases and clinical alerts on vision issues. Other resources (http://www.nei.nih.gov/resources/) include a clinical studies database, an eye and vision-related images database, and statistical datasets concerning the most common eye diseases.
Congratulations to New Mexico State University (NMSU) Library in Las Cruces, NM, for winning the 2004 American Library Association/Information Today Library of the Future Award for its NLM-funded project "Border Health Information and Education Network" (¡BIEN!).
¡BIEN! is a successful consortium of 21 public and academic libraries, and health organizations in Doña Ana, Luna and Otero counties in southern New Mexico, El Paso County, TX, and Las Palomas, Mexico. The program's primary mission is to create opportunities to improve the health behaviors of the residents of the US/Mexico border region. Its partners demonstrate their collective commitment to this mission by providing reliable online and traditional format health-related information resources in Spanish and English to consumers, health professionals and health educators in the borderland. Partners also provide training in the use of health information technology and resources.
The ¡BIEN! project is especially noteworthy due to the level of commitment from its advisory board. Board members include public and academic librarians, NMSU professors and administrators, epidemiology professionals, and employees of the New Mexico Department of Health. Each member brings specialized ideas and skills that support the provision of health information to a diverse population.
To learn more about the ¡BIEN! project, go to: http://www.bienhealth.org/.
Public libraries or community health organizations that are looking for ways to increase their impact on the community should consider creating partnerships with each other to produce greater results. Working as a team can promote better health information, increase the organizations' visibility in the community, and mean less overall time and work for both organizations than doing the same outreach individually. Additionally, funding organizations are more likely to support collaborative projects.
The NN/LM has created a free web resource to help organizations get on the road to partnership. The resource, called Public Libraries and Community Partners: Working Together to Provide Health Information (http://nnlm.gov/libinfo/community) is essentially a step-by-step online workbook about beginning partnerships between public libraries and other community organizations. It includes an overview about health information at the consumer level and some suggestions for health information resources and services.
A large portion of the resource is the Guides for Developing a Community-based Health Information Program. The guides cover the process of:
Public Libraries and Community Partners also offers a list of sources for funding your projects. The list includes funding opportunities from NN/LM, NLM and other government and non-government resources.
The NN/LM SCR now has many new classes geared toward public librarians and others who assist consumers with their health information needs. These classes are approved for MLA CE creditl.

This hands-on class will cover resources for learning basic, library, medical, and Internet Spanish vocabulary. You will also learn to evaluate and identify health websites in Spanish to which you can direct your patrons. (4 hours)
NLM's Consumer Health Databases
http://nnlm.gov/scr/edn/chdatabases.htm
In recent years, the National Library of Medicine has produced a number of databases designed for the general public. These databases range from health information to environmental conditions that impact health. This hands-on course is designed to be an overview of these databases.
This class is modular, and can be taught in smaller units. The databases covered are: MedlinePlus, NIHSeniorHealth, ClinicalTrials.gov, AIDSInfo, Genetics Home Reference, Tox Town, Household Products Database, and Haz-Map. (4 hours)
Please contact me if you are interested in any of these classes.
Technology developments in recent years have led to significant changes in how health science libraries provide access to information. Literature databases, electronic journals and remote access to library resources are now commonplace and have made accessing the medical literature faster and easier. Getting from the database to the actual resource still requires some effort, and technology is beginning to address this issue. For example, a user searches a database and finds relevant citations. If the user wants the full-text article, several questions need to be answered. Does the library own this journal? Is it available in print or electronic format or both? How can a user go straight from the search to the citation to the full text, seamlessly?
OpenURL attempts to answer some of these questions. With OpenURL, a user conducts a search in an "OpenURL enabled" database. The user finds a relevant citation and clicks on the link. The user is then provided several options based on the library's holdings. If the electronic version is owned by the library, the user gets the full text article. If only the print copy is owned, the user is gieven the journal's library catalog record and stacks location. If the journal is not owned by the library, the user is presented with an interlibrary loan form to request the article. This process is seamless to the user, but several steps happen in the background to make this possible.
OpenURL can be defined as a standard method for creating a link (URL) to an information resource. This standardized link contains two pieces of information: 1) metadata describing the resource such as page number, journal title, author name, etc. and 2) the URL for a special server, called a link resolver server. For example:
http://linkresolver.joneslibrary.edu/?atitle=An+Important+Medical+Finding&volume=3&issue=2&date=
2004&spage=123&aulast=
Smith&aufirst=J&issn=1234-5678&title=Journal+of+Important+Findings
The first section of the URL links to a specific link resolver server at the Jones Medical Library. The second section contains information about a particular journal article.
The link resolver server is a computer server which contains two pieces of information: 1) the library's holdings and 2) instructions on what should be provided to the user based on those holdings records. The user clicks on the citation link and information about the specific article is matched against holdings in the link resolver server. The link resolver server then provides the user with options based on those holdings, as discussed above.
Databases are beginning to adapt the OpenURL standard and several companies provide link resolver server services. PubMed allows users to link back to link resolver servers via Cubby preferences. For more information about this service, see the PubMed OpenURL FAQ: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/linkout/doc/openurlfaq.html.

On May 20, 2004 several NN/LM staff attended a cultural competence training session in Washington DC given by Georgetown University's National Center for Cultural Competence (NCCC) (http://gucchd.georgetown.edu/nccc/products.html). It was an informative and enlightening session, even though many of us left the day-long event feeling as though we had only scratched the surface of the complex topic of cultural competence.
Cultural competence can be defined in a number of different ways - in short, it is a set of values, behaviors, attitudes, and practices within a system, organization, program, or among individuals, which enables them to work effectively cross-culturally. Necessary to achieve this end is for organizations to develop adaptations to service delivery, policies, and structures reflecting an understanding of cultural diversity.
Several cultural factors influence diversity among individuals and groups. These include, among many others:
There are also a number of cultural influences on beliefs and practices related to the provision of healthcare services. These include, for example:
We must remain aware of these cultural influences as we continue our outreach to diverse populations. One of the main points I drew from the day was that for full community engagement in a project or program, community members must be full partners in decision-making from the very beginning, and benefit tangibly from the collaboration. Community engagement should result in the reciprocal transfer of knowledge and skills between all collaborators and partners. Too often, outreach projects fail as a result of assumptions being made about what is needed, and how the perceived 'gap' should be filled. For example, for health information outreach to be successful, it is necessary to understand which individuals in a community are seen as trusted sources of information about health practices. This is, for many cultures, not in a healthcare setting, or via a healthcare practitioner. Format and method of delivery of information is also an important consideration.
For information on cultural competence from the National Center for Cultural Competence, visit the NCCC's Products and Tools page which includes, among a number of helpful policy briefs and 'tools':

Please note that reports 1-11A, 1-1AT and 1-22A are only distributed to libraries that have entered requests in DOCLINE for other libraries. Report 2-14 is only distributed to resource libraries.
Users have access to the two most recent quarterly reports. The October-December 2003 DOCLINE quarterly statistical reports are no longer available. Instructions for downloading and printing reports may be found in the "Request Reports" section of the online manual (click the Help link at the top of the DOCLINE screen) or at: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/services/faqdocline.html#reports.
OCLC to SERHOLD Batch Update is a program that retrieves holdings data from OCLC and adds those records to DOCLINE Serial Holdings for libraries that authorize us to do so.
To authorize NLM to update your holdings from OCLC data, do the following in DOCLINE:
When OCLC has processed your union list product (also referred to as "SULOP" by OCLC), the library that originally ordered the product from OCLC, or their representative, needs to provide email me with the following information:
NLM will be notified when OCLC data is ready to be picked up; records will be updated only for those libraries that have authorized NLM to do so. Schedules are worked out between the library groups and OCLC; NLM does not have information as to when these updates will occur.
Once the files are processed all libraries whose holdings were updated will get an OCLC to SERHOLD report that will list number of records processed and any records that were rejected and not processed. It is the individual library's responsibility to make corrections to the OCLC data and/or manually add the rejected holdings record to DOCLINE Serial Holdings if necessary.
A free web tutorial about the DOCLINE Routing Table, featuring videos and screen shots is now available at: http://nnlm.gov/train/tutor/docline/. Learn tips for finding and adding libraries to your routing table, for moving and deleting libraries, and for viewing and printing the table.

August is the time when children go back to school, students prepare to leave for college, and flu season approaches. The National Partnership for Immunization, working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has designated August as National Immunization Awareness Month. Across the country, immunization programs, health screenings, and health fairs abound.
According to a press release from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention on July 29, 2004, the nation's immunization rates are at record high levels. At the same time, "A substantial number of children in the United States still aren't adequately protected from vaccine-preventable diseases," said CDC Director Dr. Julie Gerberding. Urban areas reported much lower immunization rates than the overall states, and the lowest reported was Houston, TX.
In a previous survey by the CDC that was published in the American Journal of Public Health in June 2004, it was found that racial and ethnic disparities in preschool immunization coverage rates have increased significantly during the 6-year study period (1996-2001): the immunization coverage gap between White and Black children widened by an average of 1.1% each year, and the gap between White and Hispanic children widened by an average of 0.5% each year. Improvements in addressing health care differences are needed to achieve the Healthy People 2010 goal of eliminating disparities.
Outreach at a health fair or immunization site provides opportunities to increase knowledge of much needed health information to a wide spectrum of people.
Health literacy is a hot topic for funding opportunities. A variety of organizations including the American Medical Association and the Pfizer Foundation have recently offered awards designed to combat the problem of poor health literacy. The newest award is jointly offered by the NIH and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The goal of the Understanding and Promoting Health Literacy award (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-04-117.html) is to increase understanding of the nature of health literacy and its relationship to healthy behaviors, illness prevention and treatment, chronic disease management, health disparities, risk assessment of environmental factors, and health outcomes including mental and oral health.
Potential projects could address: variation in health literacy over the lifespan, impact of low health literacy on health outcomes, diseases, behaviors and treatments, the identification of effective preventive and other interventions to improve health literacy, and the development of effective methods and new technologies in health literacy research.
Recently, a team of researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, TX, was the recipient of a $98,637 Health e-Technologies Initiative grant for their project, Validation of Quality Criteria Health Information on the World Wide Web. The Health e-Technologies grants were offered through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (http://www.rwjf.org/index.jsp), the nation's number one private funder of healthcare projects.
The project will identify existing quality criteria that correlate with health information accuracy. They will be evaluating objective criteria with respect to their ability to screen out sites containing inaccurate statements about breast cancer. For each site, they will record the quality and accuracy of the health information as judged by a panel of experts. To test the generalizability of the resulting quality assessment tool, they will apply it to a set of websites containing information on the most commonly used complementary and alternative medicine treatments.
