SOURCE NEWSLETTERS AND JOURNALS DATABASE: REQUEST FOR FEEDBACK

Do you subscribe to the right newsletters - on your topic, written for your region, or with international relevance? Do you publish a newsletter?

Source is looking for suggestions for its Newsletters and journals database, which covers the practice, management and communication of health and disability in developing countries.

If you publish, or receive and use, a useful newsletter or journal, visit http://www.asksource.info to make sure we've got it listed. Please send suggestions for inclusion and amended information to Luca Dussin at dussin.l@healthlink.org.uk stating:
- Newsletter title, publisher & publisher's postal and email addresses
- Web address (URL) if the newsletter is available online and supply a brief summary or abstract of what the newsletter covers and who it will be useful to.

WHAT IS THE SOURCE "NEWSLETTERS AND JOURNALS" DATABASE ?
  The Source Newsletters and journals database is an online resource  designed to help organisations, north and south, identify journals that they want to subscribe to. We list newsletters and journals which:
-- Cover the practice, management and / or communication of health and disability issues in developing countries
-- Use accessible language rather than complex technical terminology
-- Can be used for training, educational purposes, and / or as practical reference material
-- Are designed or adaptable for use in developing countries
-- Are available free or at a low cost
-- Are available internationally and to a large audience.

This database has been used as a valuable networking tool to learn about the activities of other organisations working regionally and internationally. It also provides a rich source of core  materials to build up resource centres and provide up-to-date health information at little extra cost.
