Bernard de silva
Cincinnati
I plan to be in Colombo,,in April
For the 3 month Dhana
For Sheila[after we complete the same Dhana/pirith, in Cincinnati]
Can meet around these times.
My books are pretty much marked up.
But many are current subjects ,on
Psychiatry
Forensic psychiatry
Mental health
Psychology,,counseling,
Mental health centers[I started 5,in the counties around Cincinnati]
And on some of the specialties that I was involved with.
What address could they be delivered to or is it the library,where the students can access them freely?
Do we have a list of other Lankans,in USA,Canada,Europe,Australia,
Who may have direct/indirect access to the journals, books
And other relevant publications,
That students are likely to read?
Should also refer to CD data,
Old videos[there should be many relevant subjects covered]
Computers could be addressed ,in this same mailing.
Many do not get obsolete,
It’s a term often used to justify the transition from what is new to what is the desired, “Ultra new, almost useless to most” novelties.
Often a higher memory, better hard drive, and a few ,cheaper additions, make them more useful.
I use several newer versions. but at some location, use much older units,
With practically no difficulty or a discernable difference in quality.
Look for some of these units too.
They are often sold for a bit more than the scrap value.
If bulky, shipping may turn out to be a limiting factor.
Make a list of the friends and contacts,[who are willing to accept the mailings]
And find a way to collect.
United way, red cross, US aid, British embassy, are likely sources,
For collection, and shipping.
I will contact united way[former chief was a neighbor of mine, should have some contacts]
Catholic charities, temples in the area, to get more ideas.
Is there a contact, resource person,
Who can coordinate the information/handling of shipment, in Lanka?
I will contact several pharma manufacturers,
Can I have a list of useful material,publications,books,,
I focus on psychiatry,
Forensic psychiatry
Community mental health,
Mental health centers
Testing, psychology,
And related areas.
I am not as current in Surgery,
Orthopedics,
Accident trauma,
Gynecology
Urology
General and transplant surgery
As I was in the past.
Can still try to tap these resources, via old contacts.
Universities can assist ,especially with electronically stored material,
And with access to literature.
Our resource base, combining all the people who migrated freely since 1965,
Can be very extensive.
