Anjoo Chandiramani for HELP *Details:* This event is regarding Google.org's(http://www.google.org/about.html) health team currently working on a project that is exploring ways to increase the quantity of high-quality health information online, particularly in languages other than English. One way that we are working on this is through the creation of a community of volunteer health translators who will translate high-quality Wikipedia health articles from English to other languages, including Hindi. (The other two languages we are currently focusing on our Arabic and Swahili.) We are reaching out to Medical/Nursing/Public Health Professors & Students, Health NGOs and Medical Professional Associations to help build this community of volunteer health translators. We will hold trainings & events and have online training available to facilitate the community. We have selected roughly 500 articles that are on important health topics and are of high quality. We've also excluded topics that already have good Wikipedia articles in Hindi. To facilitate the translation of these articles, Google has a tool, Google Translator Toolkit<https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=gtrans&passive=true&nu…> . We'd really appreciate some support from the Hindi Wikipedia community in our endeavors to build the community of volunteer health translators - they could volunteer themselves or direct people to us who they think are passionate about the language. *More information is provided herewith* [image: Health_Speaks.PNG] Sridhar V QA and Ops Lead Google India -Hyderabad -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Nitecki. Read the full-text at http://www.drexel.edu/news/headlines/a-personal-librarian-for-every-drexel-… ------------------ Dr. J. K.

One of the landmark libraries in the country, the Anna Centenary Library at Kotturpuram would be thrown open to the public by Chief Minister M Karunanidhi on today 15.09.10. In every sense a world-class repository of books, the library, spread over eight acres, would be the second biggest of its kind in Asia and the biggest in South Asia. At any given time, about 1,250 persons can be seated. An eco-friendly green library, whose foundation was laid in 2008, the building boasts of natural lighting for better reading and houses more than 1.2 million books, e-journals, e-books and a wide range of publications on assorted subjects. Jawaharlal Nehru University, IITs and IIMs have been requested to provide their online public access catalogs to enable procurement of the same titles by ACL. On the ground floor, more than 40,000 books, besides journals and short films, await children. The fully air-conditioned building has a special carpeted floor for them. There are artificial trees, walls adorned with cartoon characters and a lush green landscape, all brought to life by art director and master craftsman Thotta Tharani. The floor has been designed in Lilliputian style including wooden chairs, tables and book racks. And if one is hungry, there is a state-of-the-art food court. The library has a separate section in the ground floor for the visually impaired, containing 25,000 braille enabled titles, with a facility to convert any book in to its braille equivalent. On the fourth floor, one can have a look at a collection of Tamil manuscripts. MY HEARTY WISHES TO TAMIL NADU GOVERNMENT .
