We are Landes Bioscience, a biomedical and bioscience publisher in 
Austin,

Three electronic biomedical and bioscience information resources are
available to libraries and hospitals in the developing world without 
charge.

* Medical handbooks. Currently, we have 40 medical handbooks published. 
Pdfs
of these titles are  available. Handbooks can be read online, and 
printed
and distributed to faculty and students. New titles will be added and
existing titles are updated on an ongoing basis.

handbooks, Eurekah bioscience book chapters and journals, at no cost.

Resource access is by IP range of your institution. To sign up please

We are very interested in providing these electronic resources to 
students,

goals
are to (1) translate the medical handbooks into Spanish and French, and 
(2)
make the medical handbooks available for use on Personal Digital 
Assistants
[PDAs].

If you have any questions or are interested in our resources, please do
