Re your email on the above posted 26 April 1999
Two Examples which might be useful to you
A) A physiotherapist called Jo Whittaker who was one of the successful
Robert Jackson Fellowship candidates whose project "Australia - Links
past and present" could not have got off the ground if she had not come
to Mackenzie Library for internet and email training. As a result of
using our resources she was able to obtain various physiotherpay
contacts in Australia and at the same time to reunite far-flung family
members, and is now using her email and internet skills to maintain her
Australian physiotherapy links forged during her visit there and to plan
a huge family reuinion for 2001.
B) Dr Dealler - Medical Microbiology Consultant who used the Library,
namely Medline (offline and online) for his own personal interest in BSE
and basically became "the expert" in the area, so much so that he has
now been seconded by the government to look for diagnosis and treatment
of new variant CJD, for two years. He was in our library yesterday
tracing Secretin - very interested in the claim that it is effective
against autism in children. He says Medline is ideal for this as so
many aspects of learning contain so much information that you can only
know a tiny fraction, and the more you use it the more you realise that
lots of other little bits are also connected to your little bit.
