Medline in the Mountains

Abstract

This project provided and enhanced access to electronic health information for consumers in rural and geographically isolated communities along Colorado’s northern Front Range. We assessed the health information needs of library staff, patrons, and consumers; trained library staff and volunteers to provide health information services to library patrons, consumers, and community residents; educated library patrons and consumers on how to identify, access, retrieve, evaluate, and use print and electronic health information resources and services; and enhanced access to electronic health resources for librarians, patrons, and consumers.
