Our world today demands cooperation on all levels. We find ourselves in

We form strong bonds, and even sometimes find ourselves with strange
bedfellows, to further patient care, research and medical education. We
forge coalitions of common interests and willingly share financial
burdens, resources and personnel.

kinds of creative cooperative arrangements. Dream up an ideal partnership
or alliance. Trace the history and contributions of a notable cooperative group.

Theme: Knowing when to get out of the water: Delivering disaster-related

With a renewed focus on homeland security in the United States, the need
for immediate access to disaster-related public health information is as
important as it has ever been. The focus of contributions to this session
should be on innovative uses of technologies such as personal digital
assistants (PDAs), pocket PCs, wireless networks, or other handheld devices
to disseminate disaster-related public health information to those who need
it most. Disaster-related public health information topics might include
bioterrorism and other acts of terrorism, disease outbreaks, or natural disasters.

Type of Program: contributed papers (& invited papers if needed to fill

Theme: Shoot the pipeline with Evidence-Based Librarians: Original
Research and Practical Methods.
Do you have a research paper in one of the many areas of health science
librarianship? Help us bring both Evidence-Based Librarianship (EBL) and
the Platform for Change to life. Top ten topics for the PFC include: 1)
public health, 2) collection development, 3) veterinary medicine, 4)
hospitals, 5) federal, 6) reference, 7) public services, 8) electronic
everything, 9) PDAs and 10) you want me to r-e-a-d that?
Preference will be given to original research that answers highly relevant
questions and that utilizes designs at the higher levels of EBL evidence
such as cohort studies, randomized controlled trials, or systematic reviews.
We also will consider other methods that are appropriate to answering a
relevant EBL question. Guest appearances on the David Letterman Show are NOT guaranteed.
