Friends of the Texas Medical Center Library donate $30,000

Funds will be used as follows:

– Purchase of two (2) touch-screen, multi-lingual electronic health information kiosks – $12,000 ($6,000 each) (one each year to be placed in a TMC institution yet to be determined).

– Supplies, such as paper for photocopying for our existing paper brochure kiosks – $6,000.

– Translation services for the kiosks' brochures, which are currently in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Korean – $8,000.

– Support for the consumer health librarian's participation at local health fairs – $2,000.

– Promotional materials to market the Library's consumer health services – $2,000.

The Friends' generous gift will be especially valuable for supplementing and supporting the Jesse H. Jones Community Health Information Service's already active health information kiosk program, which includes two electronic touch-screen kiosks and eight paper brochure kiosks located around the city.
