New, Upcoming, and Planned Publications Collaboration Exercise
At this meeting, we conducted an exercise to share information about our own work-planning and potential publications for next year.
Attendees were provided with post-it notes on which they were to write the following information (or as much of the following that they knew):
We then took some time to post our publications and ideas on the wall according to the type of publication, so that the other participants could browse the lists to look for collaboration opportunities, and possible areas of overlap. Potential collaborations were noted.
The lists of publications have been compiled, again according to the "types" listed above. For 2004-2005 publications please go here and for publications planned for 2005-2006 please go here.
If your organization did not participate in the meeting, there is still time to get your input. Send information about your upcoming and planned publications (for this workplan year or the upcoming one) to Peggy D'Adamo at mdadamo@jhuccp.org by Nov. 30th. We'll revise the lists and send them out so that we can all use them during work planning.
If you see a publication that seems to overlap with something you planned to do, contact the organization and talk about how you can collaborate. Contacts are:

FP/HIV Integration Update
The consultant's summary report and needs assessment is now available.
From the report:
What program people want are synthesis publications, review articles, and lessons learned. They also want shorter publications, and asked that longer publications come with executive summaries that are three pages or less.
On November 17th, the Internal USAID FP/HIV integration working group is meeting. Representatives are needed to represent HIPNet at this meeting, to describe what we can offer the group, and how we fit into the picture, and the Network integration series. Contact Peggy D'Adamo (mdadamo@jhuccp.org) if you'd like to participate.
Sandra and Nomi Fuchs (from the FP/HIV integration working group) have also talked about the following:
The other idea up for discussion was INFO's proposal that it plans to hire a consultant to build an online database of FP/HIV integration resources, and publish a print version that includes excerpts from "must-read" publications on this topic area.
Libraries Mailing List Update:
So far the mailing list contains lists of libraries grouped by language preference:
English-1500
French-150
Spanish-605
A letter has been drafted by Patricia Klotsky of PATH that will be sent out to a group of libraries first. We will require that we receive a response from each library that would like to receive materials before anything is sent out.
CAs need to think about what they would like to send, to what libraries/countries/on what topics etc. These details need to be ironed out. We may not be able to send different materials to different libraries based on criteria other than language.
Joint Warehousing and Distribution Update:
So far Georgetown and Horizons (along with INFO) have expressed interest in this idea. We have received positive feedback from other organizations that have used this courier previously. We need one or two more organizations' buy-in to create the volume needed to get the discount, so please continue to pitch this to your distribution people.
HIFNet/HIPNet Collaboration
HIFNet is the Health Information Forum at WHO, and they hold regular meetings to discuss various health topics.
Possible area of collaboration are:
