Share the Wealth. . . of Knowledge
January, 2009
Do you have medical books gathering dust on the shelves in your office?
Operation Medical Libraries (OML), a project that provides gently used textbooks to doctors in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Solomon Islands, would love to have them.
OML is looking for current (published after 2001) textbooks in the health sciences fields of medicine, nursing, pharmacology and physical therapy, as well as anatomy and basic science books. Journals published from 2005 to the present are also appreciated. Visit
OML’s Web site or
e-mail their office to find out where to send your books.
