Registration is open for the NNLM online course “Beyond an Apple a Day: Providing Consumer Health Information at Your Library”. The class runs from Wednesday, February 1, to Wednesday, March 1.
This 4-week, 4 credit-hour (CHIS Level 1, CHIS Level 2) self-paced online class 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. We will discuss creative ideas for health information outreach in libraries, and wrap up by exploring effective marketing approaches and developing an elevator speech. Expect to spend at least 4 hours working on this class.
