5. Can Hinari be integrated into the institutional IP address so that users can access it directly? This will affect institutions which keep changing their IP addresses. 6. Why are the passwords complicated? These are internet generated and enable restriction on misuse as noticed in some countries. Each institution in a country has a unique username and password. Once a pattern is noticed where a username for an institution in a developing country is used in a developed country, the password is changed. 7. Since Kenya has improved economically, it has noticed a decrease in materials accessible to its libraries through Hinari. And Elsevier is exploiting this opportunity by marketing itself more in Kenya. However, most institutions are not able to pay for information through Elsevier, so how can Hinari help? WHO does not involve itself in negotiations regarding money on behalf of other institutions. However, if there is a consortium of health libraries (such as AHILA – Kenya Chapter) they could use their voice to request WHO to work through its contacts with publishers to negotiate for a favorable deal. 8. What are some of the changes that Hinari has undergone? Hinari is no longer an acronym because it was associated with a WHO programme that doesn’t exist anymore. It is now simply Hinari. 9. Why does access to PubMed articles through Hinari takes too long? Hinari is working on clearing its authentication with PubMed and in turn the challenges. 10. Anyone who would like to receive updates from Hinari can join the hinari-trainers forum. Chair: Nasra Gathoni Presentation 1: Dr. Alphonse Matovu MEDBOX – The Aid Library 17
This is an open source library hosted by the Medical Mission Institute in Wurzburg, Germany. It was started as an initiative to provide information to health workers especially during emergency situations. The platform is built in such a way that it can be accessed even while in the field on a smartphone or tablet. Information is arranged into Toolboxes which are created according to subject. It can be accessed through a Google search or directly by using the website (www.medbox.org). One need only register, get a username and they will be able to access all the information available. To date their greatest achievement was an endorsement by UN for their Ebola toolbox created during the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Comments and Questions 1. How is this information collected? How authoritative or evidence based it is? Is it free? Are the sources authenticated? This is reference material published by different publishers and collected by MEDBOX into their library. These are international, evidence based publications that can be found anywhere that are already referenced and simply compiled into easy to access toolboxes developed by subject. For example, when there was an Ebola outbreak in West Africa, MEDBOX pooled resources from various sources deemed necessary to support the health workers working within West Africa. 2. What is the selection criteria for countries from which information is collected? Would MEDBOX be able to provide access to health information published within countries by their Governments but not made readily available? All information is only uploaded after permission from the publishers is sought. Partnership Agreements are drawn up and signed stating clearly what is to be provided and the intended target audience. 3. Is MEDBOX an in-house resource or an eResource? What is the target audience? It is an eResource 18
