Resources

Finding health information that you can trust can be a daunting task given the vast online resources available at our fingertips. Join us for a presentation by Carolyn Martin, the Consumer Health Coordinator for the Pacific NW region of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine. She will help us figure out how to get the information you want and need from the comprehensive, but often overwhelming, National Library of Medicine and National Institute of Health databases. In addition, she will discuss what you should look for when evaluating the quality of health information on general Web sites and the importance of being a “cyberskeptic” if health claims sound too good to be true. She will walk us through reputable resources and provide links to information that librarians rely on.
