[Publib] Partnerships between libraries and hospitals

[Robert L. Balliot]

Howdy Ronnie:

 

I served as the New England public library educational representative

to the National Network of Libraries of Medicine after being recommended by

Brown University - the leading regional Health Sciences Library.

 

Before WebMD  and the proliferation of verifiable medical on-line health

resources, I collaborated with Frank Kellerman from Brown and Mary

Zammerelli of St. Josephs Hospital  to create a search guide for public
librarians. 

It is out of date, but the structure was effective when we held reference
librarian 

round table training sessions for Rhode Island public libraries and was even
featured in

USAToday:

If you are interested in effective partnerships with Health Science 

Libraries, the NN/LM   mid-continent region would be your best resource:

They are very good at providing training in medical informatics and
developing

user friendly resources.  I highly recommend that every public library see
what 

they have to offer.

Does anyone know of partnerships between a library [probably public, but not
necessarily] and a hospital, especially in terms of making health and
wellness information available, whether via print or electronic resources?

 

Thanks--Ronnie
