Mary Novotny, RN, founder of the Amputee Coalition of America (ACA), has teamed up with oandp.com to establish a new non-profit organization, the Digital Resource Foundation for the Orthotics and Prosthetics Community. The mission of the Foundation is to develop computer-based information resources and communication tools to benefit the worldwide orthotics and prosthetics community. The Foundation's first three projects include: the Virtual Library, a massive collection of articles, books and other reference material that will be digitized and made accessible through full-text keyword searches; the Humanitarian Database, a searchable online directory of worldwide orthotic and prosthetic related humanitarian efforts; and the Resource Network, a comprehensive listing of online resources from around the globe, organized with categories and descriptions. Each of these projects will be available online at no cost to users. For more information, visit www.drfop.org.
