It serves as a temporary collection replacement and\/or supplement for libraries affected by disasters that need to continue to serve medical staff and affiliated users. It is also intended for medical personnel responding to the specified disaster. EAI is not an open access collection. It is only intended for those affected by the disaster or assisting the affected population. If you know of a library or organization involved in healthcare efforts in response to the Ebola outbreak, please let them know of this service. EAI was activated four times in the past, including following the earthquake and subsequent cholera epidemic in Haiti, flooding in Pakistan and the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Library of Medicine (NLM)\u00a0Emergency Access Initiative (EAI)\u00a0has been activated to support healthcare professionals working on the Ebola public health emergency in West Africa.
