Website: http://www.lefca.com/lampchc

Collection:

  • The LAMP library collection goes back as far as the early/mid 1980's when the program started up. Although staff at LAMP would very much like to stay up to date with the collection, physical, financial and time restrictions have left it very out-of date.
  • The areas of occupational health and safety, public health, community health, legal documents and medical per spectives are all covered to varying degrees. The main focus of the collection is on medical texts, and files on hazards, industries and disease. Unfortunately, many of the files are out of date, and funding is low for the pur chase of publications.
  • The main strength of the collection is that the physicians that work at LAMP act as resources for the collection. They have access to other libraries, and with information that they find there, and their own knowledge, they give guidance for searches to the other LAMP staff members.
  • Vertical files at LAMP are out of date in a lot of cases for the same reasons mentioned previously. However, LAMP staff still finds that some of the older information is useful. Journal articles are added to the files as they come across the desk at LAMP.
  • Some of the journals that are at LAMP are: American Journal of Industrial Medicine (1993/1994), American Journal of Public Health (1993), National Fire Protection Association–NFPA (1998/1999) and PHERO, Ministry of Health.

Collection:

  • The Toronto Reference Library is in the process of reorganizing its collection. They are presently in the process of merging with the Toronto Public Library system. This means that there have been, and will continue to be many changes in the system.
