Information on Archiving Your Posters

Dear SNO Bloggers,

At the Ghent meeting, I talked to you about the possibility of archiving your poster presentations. Here are more details:

I set up a section called "Network Archives" on our "DSpace" server here at UNM:
https://repository.unm.edu/dspace/handle/1928/2296

I archived one poster as an example, so you could see how it looks:

https://repository.unm.edu/dspace/handle/1928/2297


As I mentioned in Ghent, DSpace is well-cataloged by Google, and you will get a specific (and permanent) URL for your poster so you can reference it in your CVs or other papers. This is purely voluntary, but can be very beneficial to you, and it will serve to share your ideas and efforts with other interested people.

I am the adminstrator of the archive. If you would like to have your work included in the archive, please send me the following information in an e-mail:

1. Title
2. Author (s)
3. Keywords
4. Date
5. Publisher (where/when presented or published previously)
6. Citation (institution)
7. Abstract
8. Description
9. Funding support (if any)
10. Finally -- attach a PDF of the poster -- or if not possible, a Word or Powerpoint file.

My e-mail (for any questions as well): pakmajian@salud.unm.edu

I look forward to hearing from you!

Students' International Conferece on Child Health

Hi SNO Bloggers!
I thought of posting this announcement (from Ramullah) here. Some of you may be interested.

Makerere University Medical Students’ Association (MUMSA) organizes conferences every academic year in Kampala, Uganda. Yet again, we are organizing a conference of international dimensions on child health in Africa, this academic year 2006/2007, slated for 17th to 20th December 2006. It calls for the participation of delegates from all over the world however; we have a special emphasis on sub Saharan Africa. It will be an educational tool for all students who will in the future be involved in the care of patients at various levels of health care delivery, and a gateway to disseminate new information about child health to all participants in healthcare for children and adolescents. All key players in the field of adolescent and child health will be involved.

For more information, please visit the conference website at: http://childrensconvention.atspace.org
Or, you can contact Semakula Daniel at: dsemakula@med.mak.ac.ug
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questons, comments, or concerns regarding this. Take care :-) Ramullah

new link and photos

Hey SNO Bloggers,

On the suggestion of Liliana, the SNO regional rep for latin america, I created a link to their regional blog. Yes, we are alive and kicking everywhere in the world especially in south america! Everyone is invited to visit their site. Share your ideas to your spanish speaking counterparts. The link is now available on your side panel.

Also, several kind souls have shared their wonderful photos of the Ghent Conference.

Raoul
