dc.description.abstract | The aim of the consumer health education and promotion project is to promote the Van K. Smith Community Health Library’s (VKSCHL) services and resources to the public and thereby improve the public’s access to health information. Educating the public about the online health information resources of MEDLINEplus, PubMed, Gale’s Health & Wellness Resource Center, and the Consortium of Ozarks Libraries Catalog (Coolcat, found at http://coolcat.org) is a primary focus. Relationships with area public libraries and their clientele will be strengthened as VKSCHL holdings are added to Coolcat in the first half of 2002. This project, while serving the local mission of the VKSCHL and St. John’s Health System, also fulfills the mission of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine to improve, “…the public’s access to information to enable them to make informed health decisions about their health.” | en_US |
