I haven't signed on yet by introduction; this seems as good a time as any. I admit to some reluctance with the keen desire to engage with one another electronically. While I am an ardent e-mail junkie, I find the Web too clogged with garbage to be terribly helpful. Information without reflection and dialogue is a far cry from knowledge, and may even be inversely related. (That's why I stopped subscribing to "information" glutted newspapers and magazines a decade ago and only pick them up on want to know basis.) However, this letter speaks to what I think this technology (as a tool) is good for--snippy exchanges of useful ideas. (The problem, of course, is with a listserv, how much time do I take sorting through all the letters to find one that interests me/speaks to something to which I can make a contribution. I'm not tekkie enough to know if that's just a technical problem solved by better software, but I suspect it is.) So, to Anne Cogdon and others: There is a possibly helpful "tool" out there on the Web designed by Steven Fawcett of the Work Group on Health Promotion and Community Development, University of Kansas. Called the "Tool Box," it's an ongoing, interactive collection of useful bits on almost every topic faced by health promoters. At the present, it focuses a lot on US stuff and, because its funding is partly Kansas-based and tied to risk-factor sorts of programs, it may not meet every health promoter's needs. Here's the rub: I can't find the Web address, and Steven (bless his hyperspatial soul) doesn't even do e-mail. So here's a fax number to seek advice: (913) 864-5281. Or an address: Work Group on Health Promotion and Community Development, 4086 Dole Building, University of Kansas, Lawrence Kansas 66045 Cheers!
