Dear all I know this crops up from time to time both as a question and indeed as an ethical issue. I have this enquiry from a colleague in Health Education England, who has visited a nurse education college in southern India, "When I visited the nursing school at Apollo Hyderabad, we visited the library and they showed me their books, which they treated like some of their most pressure possessions. I recognised some from the 80's when I was a student We update and dispose of massive numbers of books every year when the libraries in the Trusts and HEIs update Is there anything we could do to donate them to new homes in LMIC's. I was rather hoping that we could support some of the organisations that the Global Health Exchange is already engaged with in various schemes of work. It would require some experience around the logistics though." Advice and suggestions from both NHS and higher education colleagues would be very welcome. Thankyou, David David Stewart BA(Hons) Dip.Lib.
