Two continuing education institutes (CEIs) at this year's American Public
Health Association (APHA,  <http://www.apha.org/meetings>

information access and management, with opportunities for hands-on computer
practice.

"Public Health Knowledge: Acquisition, Management and Generation" will be
held on Saturday, November 6, from 9:00am to 5:00pm. Participants in this
CEI will learn specific strategies for staying informed about developments
in public health and principles of personal knowledge management.
Participants will be introduced to principles of evidence-based practice and
have opportunities for hands-on use of resources to find the best evidence
available to support decisions. This CEI will also review resources for
finding statistics and data sets as well as authoritative health education
materials.

On Sunday, November 7, a CEI entitled "Health and the Environment: National
Library of Medicine Information Resources for the Public Health Workforce"
will be held from 8:00am to 6:00pm. This CEI will focus on resources from
the National Library of Medicine that provide information related to
environmental health and toxicology. This session will include opportunities
for hands on practice with a number of resources, including TOXNET, Haz-Map,
Tox Town, TOXMAP, and the Household Products database.

Both CEIs will be held in a computer lab with workstations provided by the
National Library of Medicine.
