Food Safety on the Web, a national satellite videoconference to 
promote awareness and use of USDA Food Safety Education Databases as 
critical resources in food safety educational planning, will be aired 
live from Kansas State University September 20, 1996 from 
11:00 am - 12:30 pm central time.

This Kansas, Wisconsin and Michigan Cooperative Extension Project 
targets educators in extension, public health, classroom, food 
service and elsewhere who are interested in using food safety 
educational curricula and resources. Possible audience includes food 
safety, nutrition and agriculture extension specialists and agents, 
elementary and secondary science and family and consumer science 
teachers, food handlers, dietitians, health officials, FDA regional 
contacts, State Department of Agriculture, Health and Education 
Coordinators and others.

The program will focus on the content of three recently compiled 
USDA databases: The Extension Food Safety Education Database, The 
National Food Safety Database and The Foodborne Illness Educational 
Materials Database. These databases are comprehensive and continually 
updated sources of abstracts or full text of educational curriculum 
and resources developed by public and private groups. 

The program will show types of resources catalogued in the databases 
and how to use these in educational settings. It will also highlight 
a number of successful food safety education programs referenced in the 
databases. Many of the educational curricula and resources are 
available for loan through the National Agricultural Library, 
Beltsville, Maryland. Database accessing instruction will be minimal 
but will be discussed in participant handouts. 

This program can be downlinked free of charge. Support materials 
will be sent electronically. Satellite coordinates will be sent
