Training for Rural Wisconsin Health Cooperative (RWHC)

Outreach started with a bang on January 2, 2008, as Ulrike Dieterle, University of Wisconsin-Madison Ebling Library’s Outreach Coordinator, ushered in the new year by providing an Information Resources Workshop for hospital health educators from 12 Wisconsin counties at their member Education Round Table meeting. While most of the participants were onsite at the RWHC Sauk City facility, some joined in via distance technologies as well.
The workshop, which highlighted Ebling’s outreach services, evidence-based information and online databases, was an excellent opportunity to spread the word about quality health information found in BadgerLink, PubMed®, MedlinePlus® as well as other online resources. The customized workshop was built using participant input gathered through a pre-workshop questionnaire.
Michelle Ostmoe, Instructional Specialist with the School of Medicine and Public Health, demonstrated features of the online video collection to the enthusiastic group.For more information, see:
