NIHSeniorHealth Redesign Improves Navigation
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/ja08/ja08_senior_health.html
NIHSeniorHealth http://nihseniorhealth.gov/, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) consumer health Web site for older adults developed by the National Institute on Aging and the National Library of Medicine®, released its redesigned site on June 26, 2008. As NIHSeniorHealth grew from ten topics in 2003 to thirty-seven topics today and added features such as exercise stories and its more than ninety-five health videos, the site outgrew its original navigation structure. The homepage includes enhanced navigation for health topics by First letter and Categories in the middle of the page. Each month a new or updated topic is highlighted in the Featured Topic section. The sections on Exercise Stories, Health Videos, and the Trainer’s Toolkit http://nihseniorhealth.gov/toolkit/toolkit.html appear below the new navigation. The Toolkit includes nine modules with a complete lesson plan and handouts for students. [scb]
