Dear LactNet Subscribers - 
 
As a group, the LactNet list mothers have decided to use our list owner privilege to make a single exception to our policy of non-commercial breastfeeding discussion and the prohibition regarding conference related discussion or advertisement on LactNet.
 
Many of you who are long time subscribers have been watching Pat Young's breastfeeding library project grow since she started it in 2009.  She and three others have donated hundreds, if not thousands of hours to cataloguing professional breastfeeding literature including the collections of LLLI, Wellstart International, the personal collections of Chris Mulford and others.  As part of the next phase of that project, she is working with a copyright attorney to make this wealth of lactation literature available to us all.  Although the attorney is working pro bono, there are still fees associated with purchasing the licensing that will allow these works to be shared freely.  To help defray these costs, there will be a silent auction to raise funds for the licensing in conjunction with a breastfeeding conference on April 5, 2014.  If you would like more information or to offer book, DVD or something else to be auctioned at the conference, please
 contact Alla Gordina directly at:

drgordina "at" globalpediatrics "dot" net
 
Meanwhile, please keep reading LactNet to see Pay Young's periodic updates on her Library project.
 
Cordially,
 
On behalf of the List Moms,
Linda Pohl, IBCLC, RLC
Phoenix, Chennai, Athens, Kabul, Kuala Lumpur, Bamako
