NLM has put on the Web a 5,498-citation bibliography titled
National Nutrition Summit: Information Resources. The work was
prepared by NLM librarians for the National Nutrition Summit,
sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department
of Health and Human Services, held in Washington D.C. May 30-31,
2000.
The National Nutrition Summit highlighted accomplishments since a
1969 White House Conference, and identified challenges and emerging
opportunities for the Nation in the areas of food security,
nutrition, and health. The NLM bibliography was prepared to provide
an overview and background of the broad subject, and does not
purport to be comprehensive. The references are from professional
journals and monographs, newspapers, and legal materials, and the
bibliography also contains links to Internet sites. The focus of the
bibliography is the United States, and most of the references are to
materials in English. The coverage is 1970 to the present.
Not only are there links to Internet sites, but there are PubMed
links to many of the journal citations so that the user may retrieve
an abstract. Another new feature is that the bibliography is offered
in both HTML and PDF formats. The HTML version is up on the
Library's Web site now; the PDF version will be available by the
time of the National Nutrition Summit (May 30-31). Users can
download the PDF version and print a high- quality, formatted paper
bibliography.
The bibliography is number 2000-3 in the Current Bibliographies
in Medicine series and is on the Web at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/cbm/nutritionsummit.html.
