ACICR Library
Project Highlights
Background
The ACICR Library is a key component of
ACICR's commitment to sharing information
with stakeholders. Materials include books,
grey literature, videos, reports, pamphlets,
CD-ROMs and various other items that
provide information on injury control topics
including intervention techniques such as
social marketing, advocacy and community
collaboration. In total, the Library houses over
2,200 items. Holdings can be accessed in
person and online via a searchable database
linked to the ACICR website.
Status
The online library database was fully
implemented in 2005/2006. This database has
enhanced search capability and features a
reservation request service for borrowing
materials. Over the year the online library
website recorded 567 hits. Forty-three
resources were lent out through the online
process and four hundred and twenty-one new
materials were acquired this year.
Goal
To maintain and develop a collection of injury
prevention and control literature, projects and
information for access by stakeholders.
Objectives
1. Capture all materials in a searchable
database.
2. Make the resources housed in the Library
accessible to injury prevention and
control stakeholders, students and other
interested individuals.
