Objectives - The Consumer Health Information Diversity Project is developing principles and protocols for the translation of multilingual resources and the implementation of strategies to engage the Chinese and South Asian commu- nities so that the resources gathered or produced will meet their needs. Current multilingual Web sites will be evaluated, and the hospital's consumer health Web site will be enhanced, increasing navigability and accessibility. Methods - The health information needs of consumers are determined through focus groups. Once confirmed, a variety of strategies are used in response. Results - Activities are ongoing. Hard copy and PDF resources have been identified and navigability and accessibility have been addressed. Training is required to make these materials more available to the communities of interest. Discussion - Although not completed, a number of strategies have been initiated jointly by two hospital depart- ments. It is hoped that encouraging community involvement in all phases of the project will increase its sustainability.

The power of collaboration. Monday, May 24, 3:30– 5:00 p.m. Providing excellent service to consumers often requires collaboration with other libraries, agencies, community groups, and departments, which can help utilize limited resources more effectively. This session will cover innovative collaborative projects serving diverse populations, such as mental health consumers and Native American college students; public/academic and public/private partnerships; and successful funding strategies.

This article follows a previous article in "Bibliotheca Medica Canadiana" describing the original merger of this library. Library Services at The Ottawa Hospital (TOH) was created as the result of a series of hospital mergers. It supports a large teaching hospital serving the city of Ottawa, Ontario, and the surrounding area. TOH was formed in 1999 with the amalgamation of three hospitals: the Ottawa Civic, Ottawa General, and Riverside Hospitals. Before the first merger, there were three separate libraries. Library Services serves primarily staff from TOH and its affiliated research institute, the Ottawa Health Research Institute.
