Farmington Hills, MI (PRWEB) November 13, 2007 -- AccessMyLibrary, the Web's leading free, library-supported online information resource, is joining the battle against diabetes, a disease that afflicts nearly 21 million Americans and many more worldwide. November is American Diabetes Month (http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/page_aml_diabetes?referid=8310), and AccessMyLibrary is supporting the cause by featuring an extensive collection of reference materials, journals and newspaper articles - all hand-chosen by AccessMyLibrary's staff of editors - on the causes, treatments, and prevention of the disease. AccessMyLibrary.com grants users free access to nearly 30 million online articles from its diverse collection of more than 4,000 journals and publications, all courtesy of local public libraries.
