“Beyond an Apple a Day: Providing Consumer Health Information at Your Library” is a 4-week, self-paced, 4 credit-hour online class in Moodle that covers the health information-seeking behavior of consumers and the role of the librarian in the provision of health information for the public. Learn about the evolution of consumer health, health literacy, and the e-patient, and expand your knowledge of top consumer health websites. You will discuss creative ideas for health information outreach in libraries, and wrap up by exploring effective marketing approaches and developing an elevator speech.
The class runs from Monday, May 9, to Sunday, June 6. Expect to spend at least 4 hours total working on this class.
