Letter to the editor
In response to your Nov. 12 editorial calling for more information sharing and collaboration on projects
among federal, state and local public health agencies, I agree that "the
rules must change."
I would like to point you and Federal Computer Week's readers to an
example program where numerous public and private agencies are working together
to improve the infrastructure for public health and access to information
for public health professionals.
Please visit the Partnership in Information Access for Public Health
Professionals Web site at {http://nnlm.gov/partners} nnlm.gov/partners for
more on this partnership initiative.
