Dear Colleagues:

The INTRAH Program is compiling a list of essential and core
reproductive health resource and reference materials for the use of
trainers, training units, training resource centers, RH departments
and organizations, and international technical assistance agencies. 
We
seek and will acknowledge your expertise in identifying materials 
that
you/your organization consider essential and that you use and
distribute.

The list will be useful to those updating their resource and
reference collections, as well as those establishing a reproductive
health reference collection.  It's not intended to be exhaustive or
comprehensive, but rather to constitute basic and gold standard
materials, arranged by category.

A list of reproductive health and functional categories follows.
Please cite references and resource materials, relevant to your and
your organization's specialties,  directly onto the category list
under the appropriate category, including the title, author, date and
publisher.   The citations can include print, audio/visual and CD-
ROM.
 You can insert your recommendations either into a reply to this
email, or use the Word file attached.  If using the Word file please
save changes send it as an attachment to [log in to unmask] or
[log in to unmask]

The list will be published in printed form and on-line, with
acknowledgements to contributors.  Of course, contributors will be
first on our distribution list.

Thank you for your time and expertise.  We shall appreciate your
response by the week of October 2, 2000.

With best regards.
