7. New sections for IMIA monthly news bulletin
This 24th monthly email bulletin marks the end of the first two years of production. While feedback has been limited, people generally seem to find the bulletin useful, especially since we moved to the new layout a few months ago. It is now time to start thinking about expanding the scope and content.
We are exploring the creation of two new and regular sections to the bulletin:
a] a 'Letters' section - we welcome letters from IMIA members and other readers on any relevant topic. Letters should be a maximum of 500 words, and will be subject to editing before publication.
b] an 'Opinions' section - if you have an issue relevant to the domains of health and biomedical informatics that you wish to raise, to start discussion, or just comment on an ongoing issue, then we welcome possible contributions. These can be in a variety of formats ('interview style', op-ed pieces, etc.) and may be suitable to raise issues that are not yet fully expandable into a peer-reviewed paper.
We welcome members' and readers' feedback on these proposals; we also welcome other suggestions for additional content areas and any other ideas to expand the bulletin from its current 'newsletter' format.
8. IMIA social media channels If you are on Facebook, you can find (and 'like') IMIA at http://www.facebook.com/pages/IMIA/191053744240749 We will be exploring the potential of Facebook and other social nedia ('Web 2.0') tools to interact with members and the wider health and medical informatics community. Other IMIA social media channels include: Facebook group (which may be superseded by the new page) – http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5675909898
9. Forthcoming events
CALL: We should be grateful if IMIA Member Societies, Working/Special Interest Groups and others who are organising events could provide us with information on them, so that we can help promote them through IMIA channels. We also welcome suggestions on events that might be of interest to IMIA members. Advance notice of submission deadlines, deadline extensions, etc., is also of value.
