Bellevue College will improve health information access for underrepresented populations by purchasing 30 hotspots and data plans for student use, as well as create a series of workshops instructing patrons in finding high-quality information about COVID-19, including NIH and NLM sources. The workshops will also address combating misinformation around COVID-19, and educating participants about evaluating online information.
