Consumer Health Information for California

The Pacific Southwest Regional Medical Library (PSRML), with outreach funding from the National Library of Medicine, launched a pilot project in collaboration with the California State Library and the Del E. Webb Memorial Library of Loma Linda University (Webb Library) in February 1999. The overall goal of the project was to facilitate the ability of public library staff to answer consumer health questions. The project included the development of core lists of health materials for public library pilot site, and of a series of training modules to assist public librarians in providing consumer health information. The California State Library provided funds for consumer health materials to be added to these public library pilot site collections. The project concluded this past April. To access the core list and training modules, to learn more about this project and about future plans to expand training and collection development efforts in California, go to: http://nnlm.gov/psr/chic.html.
