In today's health care environment, lay people are increasingly anxious to be more involved in decisions that affect their well being. They actively seek medical and health information in libraries, bookstores, and on the Internet. Such high demand has left many public librarians struggling to meet their clients' needs - even as large numbers of new publications are becoming available. This book also addresses the issues involved in developing a CHI (consumer health information) collections in public libraries, with particular attention to the needs and behaviors of its target clientele.

Industry Reviews

The authors clearly present anticipated health questions asked by consumers on popular medical diagnoses...This work is appropriate for professional practitioners who provide CHI services to the public. Public and hospital libraries...will benefit most from this resource.--Collection Management
