We are also negotiating with several book publishers to obtain donations of new books and journals to supplement our inventory.

We have also had generous donations of time and effort from several INS members. Dr. Donna Broshek helped prepare shipments of books and updated the inventory. Dr. Brenda Plassman and Dr. Chris Grote volunteered to be Regional Coordinators for the Book and Journal Depository. They have collected materials from their local colleagues and advertised the need for more donations in their local neuropsychology and psychology associations. We thank Drs. Broshek, Plassman and Grote for their assistance and extend the invitation to other INS members who might be willing to serve as regional coordinators to help this program stay afloat.

We still need more donations and hope to receive more books and journals from our membership. Please send neuropsychology- related books or related clinical psychology books and journals no older than 1O or 15 years (unless they are "classics").

We are especially in need of locating donations of books written in foreign languages, especially Spanish. More of our overseas colleagues could benefit from these donations if we could find materials written in their native language. If anyone has such materials or knows where these materials might be obtained, please contact:

A database now exists for overseas colleagues who wish to obtain short-term (3-12 months) neuropsychological training in North America. The database consists of information provided by those programs expressing interest in hosting overseas trainees. For more information contact Lidia Artiola,

If you represent a training program and wish to have your site included in the database, please return your questionnaire as soon as possible. Responses can also be accepted via Email, phone, or fax. Thanks to all who have thus far responded.

A number of INS members have volunteered to assist overseas colleagues with editing manuscripts in English. Some bilingual services are also available. Those who have requested this service to date, have given very positive feedback on this program. If you are in need of this assistance, or would like to volunteer, contact Lidia Artiola.
