The Internet: Today's Health Information Resource
Sixty-two percent of Americans with Internet access use the web to get health or medical information, yet information on the Internet is often old, incomplete, or misleading.
Class One will help you to learn to search the Internet, and how to evaluate what you find. Class Two teaches how to use the National Library of Medicine resource MedlinePlus. Medical librarians have found reliable online health information and gathered them together in MedlinePlus to make it easier for you to find health information you can use.
