• Libraries and other resources for those without Internet access
• Add hot topics or upcoming events
• Add a line about the site/resources in one or more foreign languages so people know how to contact someone for help using the Web site
• Put cancer resources in the phone book with web address, and a phone number
• Audiences to include: workplaces, schools, clergy, social workers, pharmacies
• Alliance member organizations should link to this site from their sites (two-way street)
