Consumer Health Information at HealthInfo Island: The Workshop

Consumer Health Information at Healthinfo Island: The Workshop

Have you always wanted to learn more about consumer health information
services? Join us on Wednesday, September 3 at 11:00 a.m. SL time
for a one hour hands-on class!

Location is on Healthinfo Island in the classroom area:
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Healthinfo%20Island/154/226/0

This is intended for you, if you:

* have little or no experience with consumer health information
* are interested in joining the active SL Health Librarians group,
including helping to provide coverage on Healthinfo Island for tours
and other activities

Expect to walk (or fly!) away with a basic awareness of the following:

* Reference skills (what do I need to remember? What are some dos
and dont’s?)
* Basic resources: links and tips
* Health information literacy - and and easy way to measure
content for readability
* Credibility in a virtual environment: Resource quality
evaluation, transparency, and knowing when to refer

The content of this workshop was used to train staff (including
paraprofessionals) at the Duke University Medical Center Library, and
is adapted for use in Second Life. If there is sufficient interest we
will plan a second class for more advanced skills.
