The Documentation and Information Sharing of Community Medicine Resources Project was carried out by Noolaham Foundation in 2014 to digitize the publications and collections of the Department of Community & Family Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Jaffna. It was a collection development project undertaken by Noolaham Foundation in collaboration with another organization. Documentation, preservation and dissemination of community related medical books and other publications was the main aim of the project.
Through this project Noolaham Foundation has digitized 326 documents and made them available on its Digital Library (www.noolaham.org). The digitized publications include documents related to disease prevention and control, Siddha Medicine books, handbooks, statistics, annual reports of family health, administration reports, annual surveys, working papers, situation analysis papers, bulletins, monographs, magazines, journals and newsletters. These documents are available for free access and could be downloaded in the user-friendly interface of Noolaham Foundation’s Digital Library and most of the knowledge seekers and relevant stakeholders will have easy access to these services.
Noolaham Foundation strongly believes that this project has added substantial reference resources covering healthy lifestyle, health education, disease prevention, injuries management, and first aid. Thus this collection will immensely benefit the communities in the years to come.
