The Ptolemy Project: Electronic Health Information for the Developing World
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Office of International Surgery at the University of Toronto is 
pleased to announce that is now seeking medical researchers, doctors 
and surgeons in the developing world to participate in the Ptolemy 
project. 

The Ptolemy project aims to recruit clinicians and medical research-
ers in the developing world interested in electronic access to the 
medical literature to participate in a project to assess needs for 
this type of information in their work. Participants will be invited 
to become Research Affiliates of the University of Toronto Office of 
International Surgery and as members of the University Community they 
will gain access to the library's extensive on-line resources, which 
include approximately 425 journal indexes, 13,700 journals, and 6,000 
books. There is a strictly limited number of proxy server accounts 
available so interested persons are invited to apply now.

Please see our website <http://www.utoronto.ois/ptolemy.htm> if you 
are interested in finding out more about becoming a Ptolemy partici-
pant; likewise, if you know of somebody who might benefit from this 
project, please let them know.
