[Baynet] Reminder: August 13 Health Literacy event in Berkeley (registration closes on Aug. 6)

[Cruz, Craig]

CONSUMER HEALTH AND HEALTH LITERACY: WHAT IT MEANS TO LIBRARIANS

 

 On Thursday, August 13, join BayNet and the Northern California and
Nevada Medical Librarians Group (NCNMLG) at the historic Berkeley City
Club for an informative and important discussion about how to meet the
increasing demand for quality consumer health information.  Librarians
are also confronting the challenge of working with patrons of widely
varying levels of health literacy.  

 

This event will include the perspectives of four experts in the field.

The panel discussion will be from 4-6 PM, and include time for
networking and learning about these two local library organizations.

Registration is $10, and hors d'ouevres will be served.  Please register
online <http://www.acteva.com/booking.cfm?bevaid=186586> by August 6.
