Sponsored by the Medical Library Association, the teleconference on Sept. 10 will be shown from 1 to 3 p.m. at the LCC Yeary Library, room 146. Admission is free of charge.
Entitled “Reading Between the Lines: Focusing on Health Information Literacy,” the teleconference will highlight new principles of health information literacy and explore ways to use these techniques to maintain quality consumer health and patient education information services.
