: AIHA has just installed a new (faster) server for our Web site, which is : hosted at the Friends and Partners site at the University of Tennessee, : Knoxville. Along with the new server, we have uploaded a new version of : the Web site that includes several new features. The URL of the site is : the same (http://www.aiha.com), but you should now notice that the Web : address does not change to www.friends-partners.org after you have reached : the site; it should continue to say www.aiha.com wherever you are within : our Web site. : If you have set up any bookmarks linking to AIHA's web site, you probably : will need to create new bookmarks or update your old ones. The old site is : still temporarily accessible on-line, and though it looks the same, you : will not have access to the new site unless you update your bookmarks to : www.aiha.com. : New Features: : * Advanced searching capabilities - http://www.aiha.com/english/search.htm : - You can still do keyword searches of the Web site, but now you can limit : your searches to different sections or categories of the site, including : "Health Resources," "General Resources," and "AIHA Publications." Note : that you can search for Russian-language keywords as well. As noted on the : search page, if you are searching "All" sections of the site, this will not : encompass three particular sections of the site (which can be searched : separately). These three sections are the three new searchable databases : that have been incorporated into the site-Medical Information by Subject, : Country Health Information, and the Multilingual Document Library : (translated materials). : * Multilingual Document Library - : http://www.aiha.com/english/health/transmat/ - This database of translated : materials is now completely searchable by language, subject, and keyword. : We have also incorporated the capability to automatically request copies of : documents included in the database through an on-line form. (Note, : however, that some documents must be requested from third-party : organizations.) Searches can be limited to documents that are available : on-line, documents that AIHA distributes, or newly added materials. : * The Medical Information by Subject : (http://www.aiha.com/english/health/medlinks/) and Country Health : Information (http://www.aiha.com/english/general/chi/) may look the same as : they did before, but they are now being generated from a database. What : this means is that it is now much easier for us to update these pages with : links to other resources. If you come across useful or interesting links : related to these subject areas, please let us know so we can add the link : to the database and it will automatically show up the next time you visit : the page. : * On-Line Conferences / Chat Forum : (http://www.aiha.com/english/general/chat.htm) - The Web site is now : running software that sets up chat rooms that anyone with access to the : site can use. All you need to do is create a username for yourself. In : the next couple of months, we are planning to start organizing some chat : sessions for the partners. : We're still in the process of doing a lot of tweaking of the site, and : there are a lot of other changes in the works. (We've fallen a bit behind : on some of the content areas as we've been officially without a Webmaster : for the past seven months.) We do want to encourage your feedback and : comments on ways that we can try to improve the site, so please check it out. : Mark Storey : Technology and Information Resources : American International Health Alliance (AIHA)
