Title: Consumer health self-assessment and training tools for Wisconsin librarians

Granting Agency:

Prime source of funding: National Library of Medicine.
Sponsor: NN/LM Greater Midwest Region

Date: July 1, 2004 - July 1, 2005

Award Amount: $36,720

Goal(s) of the Project:

UW Health Sciences Librarians have been involved in successful training workshops to help public librarians in Wisconsin better serve library patrons with health information needs. This project will extend the reach of our consumer health instruction efforts by developing web-based instruction tools to meet consumer health continuing education needs of Wisconsin librarians serving the public. We will provide much more accessible means of subject specialty-education, so that public librarians across the state can participate at times convenient to the individual librarian with no requirement to travel. Four modules will be developed covering various aspects of consumer health information, including search and evaluation techniques, MedlinePlus, recommended web resources, and health resources available through BadgerLink.
