1) HEALTH SCIENCES LIBRARIES AV CATALOGUE: The 2011 version of the University of Manitoba Health Sciences Libraries Audiovisual Catalogue is now available in PDF. Please go here[1] for more info.

2) HEALTH TRENDS, A NEW ANALYSIS TOOL FROM STATISTICS CANADA: Health Statistics Division, in partnership with the Census Internet Development Team, has developed the online Health Trends product as a follow-up to the June 2009 release of the Health Profile. It promises to be an extremely useful tool for health organizations, governments at all levels, health service providers, researchers, and students. For more info, go here[2].

3) ENHANCED ACCESS FOR PUBLICATIONS BY THE CANADIAN CENTRE FOR POLICY ALTERNATIVES: For a limited time the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives[3] is providing free access to all its publications. More info can be found here[4].
