The book focuses on all aspects of providing consumers with health information in public libraries. It covers information needs and seeking behaviors, community analysis, collection development, advertising, outreach programs, training staff, and evaluation techniques.
In today's healthcare environment, lay people are increasingly anxious to play a more involved role in decisions that affect their well being. They actively seek medical and health information in libraries, bookstores, and on the Internet. Such high demand has left many public librarians struggling to meet their clients' needs, even as large numbers of new publications are becoming available. This book addresses the issues involved in developing a CHI collection in public libraries, with particular attention to the needs and behaviors of its target clientele.
