We are Landes Bioscience, a biomedical and bioscience publisher 
in Austin, Texas, USA.
 
Three electronic biomedical and bioscience information resources 
are available to libraries and hospitals in the developing world 
without charge.
 
* Medical handbooks
Currently, we have 40 medical handbooks published. PDFs of these 
titles are available. Handbooks can be read online, and printed 
and distributed to faculty and students. New titles will be added 
and existing titles are updated on an ongoing basis:

* Eurekah Bioscience Database
We publish bioscience and biomedicine research books. There are 
more than 1,200 chapters from 100 recently published books posted 
at Eurekah, and new chapters are added every week. The chapters

Your medical library or hospital can access all three resources: 
medical handbooks, Eurekah bioscience book chapters and journals, 
at no cost.
 
Resource access is by IP range of your institution. To sign up 
please send me, Sara Lord <sara@eurekah.com>, the following in-
formation:
 
* Institution name and location
* Name of contact person
* E-mail of contact person

We are very interested in providing these electronic resources to 
students, faculty, nurses and physicians in the developing world. 
Our long-term goals are to (1) translate the medical handbooks 
into Spanish and French, and (2) make the medical handbooks 
available for use on Personal Digital Assistants [PDAs].
 
If you have any questions or are interested in our resources, 
please do not hesitate to contact me.
