New On Demand Class "Consumer Health Collection Management"

**

NNLM is pleased to announce a new class, especially for public library staff looking to update their health collections! 

Consumer Health Collection Management - On demand is a 4 credit, on demand course  taught in Moodle.

This course reviews collection management principles and resources for health-related collections in public libraries. Watch a recorded presentation and complete 2 assignments to evaluate your own library's health collection, and consider how you can improve your health related materials to better serve your community. This class includes a downloadable list of authoritative health information resources in both .html and .docx formats that you can customize for your library.

Thanks to Carolyn Martin, PNR, for helping shape this class into creation!
