描述（由申请人提供）： 健康警报网络电子资源和服务数字图书馆（HANDLERS）项目将通过在机构内联网上的培训和资源中心图书馆资源共享中心增加更多的书目数据库和全文电子图书馆资源，加强现有的伊利诺伊州公共卫生部（IDPH）健康警报网络（HAN）基础设施。这些将提供给全州21个办公地点的1 300多名IDPH工作人员，以及94个伊利诺伊州地方卫生部门的工作人员，他们通过HAN硬件和软件以及互联网使用IDPH内联网。 IDPH负责“通过预防和控制疾病和伤害来促进伊利诺斯州人民的健康”，它与LHD（以社区为基础，为该州102个县中除3个县外的所有县提供服务）合作并通过LHD实现其目标。国际公共卫生研究所和LHD的工作人员利用真相与和解委员会图书馆“及时”获得书籍、视听材料和专业期刊文章，以支持他们的工作，特别是应对疾病爆发或其他公共卫生相关事件。纸质副本可以通过邮件或传真发送，但从用户桌面进行自助搜索以及立即以电子方式发送全文文件将加快向越来越多的用户提供所需研究材料的速度，从而为更多的图书馆用户提供更好的服务。HANDLERS项目将增加扫描文本和图形材料的设备，以便通过电子邮件或电子方式传送;在线数据库（除了目前通过IDPH内联网提供的16个数据库外，包括MEDLINE），一些全文数据库;用户工作站，以便在图书馆内以电子格式访问数据库和其他图书馆材料;设备和旅行支助，以培训工作人员使用HANDLERS资源。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Health Alert Network Digital Library of Electronic Resources and Services (HANDLERS) project will enhance the existing Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Health Alert Network (HAN) infrastructure by adding to the Training & Resource Center Library resource sharing hub on the agency Intranet more bibliographic databases and full-text electronic library resources. These will be available to over 1,300 IDPH staff at 21 office sites statewide, and to the staff of 94 Illinois Local Health Departments (LHDs), who use the IDPH Intranet via HAN hardware and software and the Internet. IDPH, charged to "promote the health of the people of Illinois through the prevention and control of disease and injury," works with and through the LHDs (community-based and serving all but 3 of the state's 102 counties) to accomplish its goals. IDPH and LHD staff use the TRC Library to obtain books, audiovisual materials and professional journal articles "just in time" in support of their work, especially in responding to outbreaks or other public health-related events. Paper copies can be delivered via mail or fax, but self-service searching from the user's desktop, and immediate electronic delivery of full-text documents, will speed needed research materials to an increasing user base, resulting in better service to more library users. The HANDLERS project will add equipment to scan textual and graphic materials for e-mail or electronic transmission; online databases (in addition to 16 available now via IDPH Intranet, including MEDLINE), some full-text; user workstations for in-library access to databases and other library materials in electronic formats; equipment and support for travel to train staff in the use of HANDLERS resources.
