1999 PH/HA Program
PH/HA cosponsored two programs at the annual MLA conference in Chicago:
Youth Violence: the present is tense. Issues to address a better future.
Through presentations by an invited speaker and contributed papers, it is anticipated
that the audience will become more aware of current research in this area and of outreach
services and interventional information efforts to youth, families, and affected communities.
Cosponsored with the Relevant Issues section.
Cross-connecting issues in global health. Towards international collaboration.
With the increasing trend towards globalization, global health concerns such as infectious
disease control, disaster preparedness, food-borne illness containment, environmental toxins
control, and stockpiling of vaccines are rapidly emerging. The Institute of Medicine released its
1997 report called “America's vital interest in global health” (read it online!), which indicated the need to develop a global health strategy to benefit the entire international community. Papers addressed projects involving information retrieval or dissemination in these areas. Cosponsored with the Federal Libraries, International Cooperation, Medical Informatics, and Veterinary Medicine sections.
