Video Tutorials and Resources for Consumer Health Resources
In partnership with several Health Science Librarians at Stony Brook University and the RASD Health Concerns Committee, the following tutorial was created on consumer health resources for public librarians in Suffolk County and public library school students in conjunction with hands on workshops offered in early 2018. Additional resources now discontinued or migrated into another resource were covered and tutorials created but have since been removed form this topic guide. Funding for the workshops and tutorials was awarded by the Health Information Awareness Award by the National Library of Medicine (NLM), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
This video provides an overview of MedlinePlus (https://medlineplus.gov), and how navigate the site. MedlinePlus can be used to learn about the latest treatments, look up information on a drug or supplement, find out the meanings of words, or view medical videos or illustrations.
