Check Out New NN/LM Consumer Health Workshop Materials on the NTCC!
Four new consumer health workshops including handouts, scripts and exercises are available through the National Training Center and Clearinghouse.
The classes are:
Prescription for Success: Consumer Health Information on the Internet
http://nnlm.gov/training/consumer/prescription/
From Snake Oil to Penicillin: Evaluating Health Information on the Internet
http://nnlm.gov/training/consumer/snakeoil/
Looking in all the Wrong Places: PubMed for Public Librarians
http://nnlm.gov/training/consumer/pubmed/
Beyond an Apple a Day: Providing Consumer Health Information in the Public Library
http://nnlm.gov/training/consumer/apple/
These courses were developed by Jo-Ann Benedetti, a librarian from New York. Medical Library Association continuing education (CE) credit is available if the courses are taught by an NN/LM Coordinator. The classes are intended for public librarians, but some of the materials are quite adaptable for other professions such as nurses and allied health. If you are interested in having one of us present one of these classes at your institution, please contact Kay Deeney at kdeeney@library.ucla.edu or call 800-338-7657.
