The orange library (Download form & information)

In addition to the digital enLINK library (see http://www.enlink.org) the Foundation created a small, traditional, “paper-based” mobile enLINK library. The mobile enLINK library represents an orange-coloured metal trunk containing more than 120 books, brochures and guidelines from the field of nutrition and health. Nutrition cannot be viewed separately from other disciplines, especially medicine, agriculture or public health. Accordingly, the enLINK trunk also contains books such as the Harrison’s textbook of medicine or a textbook of tropical medicine. One can find “down to earth”, ready-to-use guidelines for the treatment of severe malnutrition or the construction of a home garden.

The enLINK nutrition library trunk will initially only be offered as a present to selected nutrition institutes, Departments of Universities in low-income countries which work in the area of nutrition, medicine, paediatrics, public health, agriculture. Obviously we have to make a selection for our mailings and we can not send the trunk to all institutes, especially if they are not active in one of the specified areas. No trunks will be given to individuals but only to institutions and their libraries for general use according to the guidelines “How to use the enLINK trunk” which will be given to you after ordering and upon delivery. In addition the mailing of the trunks is at the moment limited to the countries listed in Table 1 (see below). The list is based on GNI per capita (World Bank figures, 2006). Institutions in countries with GNI per capita below $1250 are eligible ordering the enLINK trunk and receiving it free of charge (including free shipping).

Please check the list below to learn whether your country is eligible.

The order form for the enLINK trunk can be returned by e-mail (nf@nestlefoundation.org) or by FAX +41-21-320 33 92 to the offices of the enLINKL initiative in Lausanne (Switzerland).

30,000 pages of nutrition knowledge!
