[Lswtalk] Consumer health workshop?

[Erin Chesnutt]

All,

I am planning to ask the Nat. Network of Libraries of Medicine office 
out of Houston to come do some training for helping patrons with 
consumer health issues.  I don't have enough staff available to fill a 
class, and I was wondering if any of you would be interested in sending 
someone(s) to any of the following classes.  If so, please let me know 
which one(s) is of most interest to you.    I'm thinking perhaps mid-May 
for the workshops  (before SRP gets crazy).

Beyond an Apple a Day : Providing Consumer Health Information at Your 
Library  http://nnlm.gov/training/consumer/apple/
 From Snake Oil to Penicillin : Evaluating Consumer Health Information 
on the Internet   http://nnlm.gov/training/consumer/snakeoil/

Other notes:  NNLM workshops are free.   There are currently no NNLM 
workshops scheduled in LA.  We could ask to do both workshops 
back-to-back for one (long) day, if that makes it more worthwhile to 
your staff.
