A new pilot project that includes financial backing in a new joint venture by MLA and NIH/NLM. Eight hospital-based libraries will be selected to pilot a new Health Information Literacy Curriculum designed to (1) increase health care provider knowledge of health information literacy issues, (2) increase patient and provider use of NLM and other consumer resources, and (3) promote the role of librarians as key providers of health information literacy resources and support.
The deadline to apply for this pilot program is January 7, 2008. For more information and the application form, go to: http://www.mlanet.org/resources/healthlit/hil_pilot.html
