ABSTRACT
A multi-institutional collaborative
project is described. The aim of the project is to improve access to information
on Latin American Social Medicine. The use of the Internet to improve access
rather than continue to create barriers to access will be explored. The utility
of a digital library of structured abstracts in such initiatives will be demonstrated.
