Fwd: Clinical Emergency Clause / Humanitarian Crises

[Heather Morrison <heatherm@eln.bc.ca>]

Greetings all - as I suspected, there are those who are quietly helping
out.  No doubt there are others.  As fine a thing as modesty is, I do
encourage people in the publishing community to let everyone know what
they are doing to help out; if only to make it easier to get the word to
people who have expanded access so that they can take advantage of it.  
cheers, Heather Morrison

Dear Heather,

We saw your posting on liblicense and would like to let you know about
BMJ's policy of free online access in countries affected by the Tsunami
disaster:

BMJ Publishing Group offers free access to all online products to health
workers in 113 developing countries covered by the HINARI Initiative. �In
addition we have opened access for the whole of 2005 to five countries
affected by the tsunami disaster. They are India (including Andoman and
Nicobar Islands), Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Malaysia. �Anyone in
these countries can access bmj.com, BMJ Journals and Clinical Evidence.
More information on the HINARI Initiative and countries covered can be
found at: http://www.healthinternetwork.org.

If you have any ideas how to let users in the affected countries know 
about the free access, please let me know.
Please feel free to pass this message on to any colleagues.

Best wishes,
