Health Literacy: a 20th Century Skill
By Donna DiMichele | March 29, 2011
Are you interested in health literacy? Are you a health professional or from a community group and interested in collaborating with libraries to improve health literacy? Then, this webinar is for you.
The NN/LM NER will facilitate a Healthy Literacy “Community of Interest” (COI) for our next contract (May 2011-2016). We hope you might join. The COI is a community of practice of people who share a common interest and want to share their expertise and advance their knowledge by learning from others. Caroline Marshall, Health Sciences Librarian at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut, is the leader for the Health Literacy Community of Interest. Michelle Eberle is the convener.
We hope you can join us for a webinar on Thursday, April 7, 2011 from 10:30 -11:30 AM to learn more about health literacy, the COI, and some recent projects in the New England Region.
Guest speakers will share highlights of health literacy work at their institution. The guest speakers include:
Caroline Marshall, Danbury Hospital, Danbury, CT
Cara Marcus, Faulkner Hospital, Boston, MA
Penny Glassman, UMass Med School Library, Worcester, MA
Please join us! Register and get information how to access the webinar
