Subject: New Use of Library Internet Access for Updating Essential Medical
Information
> We are a charity supporting 40,000 members with intolerance to gluten the
> protein part of wheat, barley, rye and oats.
>
> As part of our service we produce a list of UK manufactured products
which
> are available nationally and are gluten-free.
>
> However, this list becomes regularly out-of-date as products come and go
> and so we are racking our brains to find a way of getting our members to
> access regular updates.
>
> One excellent way potentially is for us to tell them how to access the
> internet via their own local libraries. Many of our members are 50+ and
> are reluctant to get into technology. To help them therefore we want to
> encourage them to go to a local library with internet access and with help
> from the staff update their Food Lists. In particular we want to find out
> the full listing of local libraries with internet access so we can advise
of
> the locations and charges before they take the trouble to use these
> facilities. Our members would need to access the site once a month.
>
> So my first question is - Is there a full listing of address
> or contact numbers of all libraries with internet access + charges?
> Secondly we would like our charity literature, quarterly
> magazine, video etc. to be available free-of-charge on loan from local
> libraries. As there are 4,000 libraries is there an easy way to contact
> them all - get the correct address to send these publications to and set
up
> the system?
> Thirdly, 1 in 700 people are undiagnosed coeliac, and upto
> 15 million people suffer from gluten-related wheat intolerance. Would any
> libraries interested in a display of our publications and society details
> like to get in touch with me.
