March 4, 2004 HealthWeb Celebrates Ten Years of Linking to Quality Health Information HealthWeb, an award-winning Internet resource for evaluated health information, is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. Located at http://healthweb.org, HealthWeb provides access to information and education resources selected by librarians for relevance and quality. The HealthWeb project was conceived in 1994 to provide a one-stop entry point to evaluated, non-commercial, Internet-accessible resources organized by medical discipline. It is a collaborative project of over 20 health sciences libraries in the Greater Midwest Region of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine. The site includes over 60 subject pages, over 10,000 cataloged sites with annotations, a search engine with MeSH or keyword options, and User Guides for Internet Resources. HealthWeb is the recipient of the ISI / Frank Bradway Rogers Information Advancement Award; the Midwest Chapter/MLA Award for Achievement in Health Information Management; and is included on the MLA Consumer and Patient Health Information Section (CAPHIS) "Top 100" list of trusted health websites. The HealthWeb site and project have been highlighted in numerous scholarly and popular publications including the Bulletin of the Medical Library Association, the Chronicle of Higher Education, College & Research Libraries News, Fortune, JAMA, Newsweek, and Searcher: the Magazine for Database Professionals. HealthWeb is supported by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) under contract #N01-LM-1-3513 with the University of Illinois at Chicago.  |
