Colleagues–We’re pleased to announce the addition of a tutorial entitled, “Evaluating Internet Health Information” to MedlinePlus. This tutorial teaches users how to to evaluate the health information they find on the Web. It is about 16 minutes long

You need a Flash plug-in, version 6 or above, to view it. If you do not have Flash, the page helps you perform a free download of the software before you start.

The tutorial runs automatically, but you can also use the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen to go forward, backward, pause, or start over

The tutorial is linked from the Information for Librarians and Trainers page (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/
training/trainers.html) as well as from the MedlinePlus Guide to Healthy Web Surfing (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus

Thanks to Stephanie Dennis, NLM Associate Fellow, who created the tutorial as an associate project, and the RML Consumer Health and Outreach librarians for their valuable feedback.
