We invite you to provide copies of your health CD-ROMs for this occasion. Why are we holding a CD-ROM Exhibition? Internet connectivity is a problem for medical teachers, students and healthcare workers in our country, and we feel that health-related CD-ROMs should be available in all health resource centres to help respond to relevant health information needs. INASP-Health recently held an international health CD-ROM exhibition in London (see http://www.inasp.info/health/workshop32/cdroms.html), and this inspired us to do something similar in Senegal. The exhibition will help to share what we already have in Senegal, and to raise awareness about other international CD-ROMs that health stakeholders can access. This day will be an opportunity to know who has got what and where in our network, and help us really identify the resources we have all together. All represented resource centres will have a stand to display their resources, a computer and LCD for demonstrations. To make the day attractive, we intend to distribute to participants and visitors free copies of health CD-ROMs and other products that health information producers and those involved in health information can give us. On receiving your donations of CD-ROMs, we will credit your organisation generously and acknowledge your support to health in the developing world. If you would like to donate or need more information please contact: Ibrahima Bob (organiser of the day) AHILA President BP 5270, Dakar-Fann Dakar, Senegal Tel: 221 824 83 38 Mob 221 653 83 96 Fax : 221 824 07 41 Email: bobibrahim@yahoo.com or ibrahima.bob@oneworld.net URL: http://www.ahila.org Yours sincerely Ibrahima Bob ===== Ibrahima Bob, Office and Information Manager Africa Consultants International (ACI) B.P. 5270, Dakar-Fann, SENEGAL Tel.:B +221 824.83.38 Mob.: +221 653.83.96 Fax: B +221 824.07.41 // eFax : + 801 740-9578 Web: http://www.acibaobab.org E-mail : bobibrahim@yahoo.com
