INside OUTreach

Ever get the urge to have an NLM baseball cap of your very own? Or, perhaps, the NLM golf shirt? Why, complete the ensemble with an NLM lapel pin, an NLM briefcase, and an NLM pen, and you'll be the envy of every PubMed user in the six state region! A veritable personification of the National Library of Medicine! Well, it's all possible. Visit the new NLM Online Giftshop at http://www.nlmgiftshop.org/ to see what's available. The Giftshop is a non-profit joint venture between the NLM and the National Institutes of Health's R&W store. Currently, it is running as a pilot project to see how interested people are in purchasing these items.

Don't forget, however, that some promotional items are kept here in the NER for the use of member libraries. If you're planning a library open house or other event this fall and feel that some bookmarks or pens or Medlineplus posters (or other items) would be useful, please contact us and let us know your needs. We'll be happy to work with you to help make your event a success!

• Exhibiting at the New England Business Expo in Worcester Sept 18 & 19
• Attending NAHSL Sept 22 - Sept 24 at Attitash Bear Park, NH

Read the articles at: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/current_issue.html. While the Technical Bulletin may not be everyone's first choice for bedside reading, it is good to be familiar with it because most new developments with NLM databases are announced there first and explained in detail.
