[OLPC library] [hifa2015] Nutrition-related CD-ROMs

[Edward Cherlin]

Thanks. Please keep OLPC and the Librarian Chick, Stacy, in mind when
you see any such content. OLPC needs content for its Health track to
go on its laptop computers for the poor and Stacy collects free online
textbooks. OLPC is also working with OpenVistA and other Open Source
health software.
