The purpose of this collaborative project was to creatively meet the needs of the St Cloud Technical and Community College’s biomedical equipment technology students’ hands-on learning experience and at the same time the maintenance of equipment in the St Cloud State University Nursing Department and St Cloud Technical and Community College Clinical Departments. This working collaborative established between the 2 schools resulted in a win-win situation for all. Biomedical equipment technology students repaired equipment and created an inventory while providing real-time customer service, and the nursing/clinical departments appreciated quick and consistent repair of broken and defective equipment.

Over the years, there have been tremendous changes and growth in this very important information vehicle. The current editors of the column assumed their responsibility for the column in the spring of 1998. This article serves as a brief overview reflecting the changes in both the Internet and the resources hosted, maintained, and scrutinized by health sciences librarians and information professionals.

Tracking Avian Flu on the Web

Like the former pandemic, this current threat has the potential to cause up to 7.4 million deaths worldwide. Yet as of mid-2006, the viability of this threat is still unclear. There is no doubt that birds, especially poultry, have been the primary target of this particular strain of influenza. Human illnesses and deaths have resulted from direct contact with birds; farmers and food handlers are most at risk. Fortunately there has not been a shift to human-to-human transmission. However, it is imperative for public heath officers, health professionals, and other appropriate officials to keep current on the progress of this virus within the bird population, and its spread around the world. Preventative measures including worst case scenarios have been widely discussed and even resulted in a made-for-TV movie.The need for up-to-date information is essential in order to track the extent of transmission, location of current outbreaks, and most importantly steps for preparedness that could be vital for prevention and containment. This article explores and identifies major Web sites along with basic Internet search techniques to find informative and credible Web-based resources.
