Iowa Public Health Information Project (IPHI)
For the past year, Hardin Library staff have been working on the Iowa Public Health Information Project (IPHI) in cooperation with the University of Iowa College of Public Health, the Iowa Department of Public Health and public health professionals across the state. The project addresses information needs of Iowa public health professionals by creating an easy-to-use web site that emphasizes local and state public health resources. The website design portion of the project has now been completed, and public release of the website is scheduled for March 2004. You will be able to view the site at http://www.iowapublichealth.org
During the next few months, Hardin Library staff will provide training to at least 15 public health departments across the state. Public health staff will learn how to use the new IPHI site, and how to use the National Library of Medicine and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) systems and resources. Hardin Library will maintain this website after the project period as a service to Iowans. For more information about IPHI, contact us.
IPHI is funded with federal funds from the CDC and the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health under contract number NO1-LM-1-3513.
