Opportunities to support Tsunami Relief efforts:

Their website is http://www.nwmedicalteams.org.  For those looking for ways to do hands-on help not just in the tsunami affected territories, but elsewhere in the world where there are medical needs, the NW Medical Teams is also an organization through which people volunteer their medical skills. Teams are already on the ground there now. - Lynda Bigler

Response to Tidal Wave Disaster: Church World Service Deploys Regional Teams, Sends $900,000 in Emergency Supplies to Aid Tsunami Survivors.  To read this story and others on this devastating disaster, visit: http://www.churchworldservice.org/news/tsunami/index.html

Excerpt from memo by Dean Robert Alpern, Yale School of Medicine:

Our understanding is the most pressing need right now is for essential medicines and supplies to prevent the spread of disease. Many of you may have already donated to relief organizations that are responding to the disaster. For those who still wish to make a contribution and are wondering where best to direct it, there follows a list of several online guides to organizations that are providing aid:

American Institute of Philanthropy
http://www.charitywatch.org/hottopics/tsunami_asia.html

USA Freedom Corps
http://www.usafreedomcorps.gov/

Guidestar
http://www.guidestar.org/

Network for Good
http://www.networkforgood.org/

Excerpt from email by Gale Pollen (ISM):

I'd been in touch with Jonathan Bonk at the Overseas Ministries Study Center (OMSC) to see if he had received any word about Nalini Jayasuriya who, as you may remember, returned to her home in Sri Lanka following her time here at OMSC (and her exhibit at ISM/YDS).  Thankfully, she is fine and was able to get through to friends in Florida, who passed the word along.  In his reply, he mentioned that the OMSC community is raising some money to assist relief operations in Sri Lanka. They "will be sending a cheque to Bishop Duleep de Chickera at the end of this month. He is the Anglican bishop of Colombo."  Checks can be made out to OMSC, but donors should write "Sri Lanka Relief" on the memo line; they can be given to Judy Stebbins at OMSC. Thanks, Gale Pollen.

RefWorks - YDS Library Workshop: Are you having trouble organizing the references you accumulate in the course of researching and writing a paper or report? Are they on computer files, note cards, napkins, and gum wrappers? Solution: Use RefWorks! RefWorks is a web-based citation management system that is available to Yale students, faculty and staff. You can add references manually or import directly from ORBIS or other online databases (ATLA Religion Database, for example) available from Yale University Libraries. It allows you to easily create in-text citations while you are writing your paper. Once you are finished writing, it takes just moments to generate your bibliography. Come to a 45 min. tutorial to learn more about how to get started with RefWorks. If you plan to attend, please set up a RefWorks account. Click on the RefWorks link on the YDS Library web page http://www.library.yale.edu/div/or the Yale University Library web page http://www.library.yale.edu/. This will allow more time to explore the system during the workshop.
