Dragonfly Summer 2004 -- Volume 35, Number 2

Three NN/LM PNR Network Members Win Awards

Congratulations to the three network member libraries in the NN/LM Pacific Northwest Region that are winners of the U.S. National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS) Blue Ribbon Consumer Health Information Recognition Awards for Libraries:

• Kootenai Medical Center DeArmond Consumer Health Library in Couer d'Alene, Idaho;
• PeaceHealth Oregon Region and the Eugene Public Library, in Eugene, Oregon; and
• University of Washington Health Sciences Libraries in Seattle, Washington, featuring innovative projects like EthnoMed.

These awards are given to libraries that do the most to promote a healthy lifestyle. The libraries are nominated by their state library agencies and then a task force of NCLIS Commissioners judge the entries. The winners are chosen for the "overall success of the library's consumer health information services program, with particular emphasis on the program's potential impact, innovativeness, and replicabitlity." There will be a follow-up report of best practices in the distribution of consumer health information done by libraries.
