Working together to improve access to reliable information for

information access in resource-poor settings. Launched in July 2000,
the list promotes cross-sectoral communication among providers and
users of health information. It currently has 325 active partici-
pants, including health professionals, librarians, publishers, NGOs,
and international agencies.
