[Publib] Best Practice - Make Informed Decisions: Health, wealth, and other life choices

[June Garcia]

The Public Library Association has recently completed a revision of the
Service Responses that are a key component of the Planning for Results
Process.  One of the service responses is Make Informed Decisions:  Health,
wealth, and other life choices.

 

This service response is described as follows:

Residents will have the resources they need to identify and analyze risks,
benefits, and alternatives before making decisions that affect their lives.

 

PLA wishes to identify libraries which have made this service a priority and
share that information with learners who participate in PLA's online
learning courses. If your web site reflects this service priority and you
would like PLA to highlight the services you provide, please send the URL to
June Garcia at jgarcia at dubberlygarcia.com  

 

Some of the services provided by libraries that offer this service are:

Develop and maintain Web pages that provide information to help make life
decisions.

Create electronic pathfinders or wikis to help users find resources to help
make informed life decisions.

Create displays of information resources that could be used to make life
decisions.

Present a series of programs on topics of interest to people making life
decisions.

Make presentations to community organizations about library resources that
help people make informed decisions.

Create or provide access to electronic programs that help users to assess
risks, benefits, and alternatives when making life decisions.

 

Thank you.
