BORDERLAND HEALTH PROJECT
Library Health Information Project
Improves Borderland Wellness
The Border Health Information and Education Network (BIEN!), led by the NMSU Library, is a partner-ship
of seventeen academic and public libraries, hospitals, clinics and other public health service
organizations in New Mexico’s Dona Ana, Luna, and Otero counties. BIEN!’s mission is to create
opportunities to improve the health of residents of the borderland region by the provision of quality
health information in all formats in English and Spanish. Since its beginning in 2000, BIEN! has made
much progress in accomplishing its goals:
•Installation of computers with Internet access and printers at all 17 BIEN! Project partner locations.
•Creation of a BIEN! Project Internet web site accessible at http://www.nmsu.edu/bien. This site

medical information, BIEN! web site visitors can provide feedback to the site’s webmaster and BIEN!
Project Health Information Reference Librarian Molly McGetrick and post messages to the site’s
bulletin board.
•Purchase of various web-based health and medical information database subscriptions, now
available to project partners. Because the NMSU Library is a BIEN! partner, faculty, students, and
staff have access to EBSCO Publishing’s AltHealthWatch, a full text alternative and complementary
health information database, and MDConsult, a health and medical information database geared
to health care professionals. Ask about accessing these databases at the (Health... continued on page 2)
