[PHNUTR-L] Mentors needed for Sewell Fund Recipients at APHA

[Laura Larsson]

Friends:

I am once again asking for your help in identifying mentors for 
librarian colleagues at the APHA Annual Meeting.  I need your help 
identifying two public health practitioners who would be willing to meet 
with, talk to, attend a couple of scientific sessions with, and 
generally exchange information and network with two of our Sewell Fund 
Recipients (one mentor to one librarian).

If you have the inclination to help librarians learn more about what you 
do so that they can train students and colleagues and be better at 
providing information to you and your colleagues, please contact me 
directly at larsson at u.washington.edu and volunteer.

Librarians are great people to know. They hardly ever forget what your 
interests are. You'll likely be getting infogoodies for years afterwards 
once they know what your interests are. The benefit to the librarians is 
a better understanding of what the information needs of public health 
practitioners are. They gain that information from interactions with you 
and other public health experts and from the sessions they attend.

Don't forget about the APHA Film Festival if you are coming to APHA. If 
you get totally brain-burned and want to see some terrific (but 
gripping) films and documentaries, come to the Tech Theater. Sessions 
are located at this URL: 
http://apha.confex.com/apha/133am/techprogram/program_523.htm

The films are listed in the afternoon and evening sessions - and they 
are *gooooood*! They've been evaluated by a team of folks heavily 
involved in creating, directing and producing public health films and by 
experts in the field.

If you want to meet the face behind all the emails, I will be spending 
all my time in the Film & Tech Theater, Room 201C Philadelphia 
Convention Center. See you there.
