This session presents the differences between regular reference and health reference, with a focus on strategies for providing excellent consumer health reference services in both medical and public library settings. This webinar is the archived version of a live, interactive session from the "Health e-Shows" series, a consumer health information series developed by Kelli Ham, NN/LM PSR Consumer Health Coordinator, in collaboration with Infopeople. Materials include the archived webinar, an audio podcast file, and the PowerPoint slides used for the presentation.
