Community Health Outreach: Improving 95 Montanans' Access to Quality Health Information

This project will consist of a spectrum of outreach activities that MSU Librarians will implement to educate Montana constituencies about National Library of Medicine resources and services. Activities will include: exhibiting at library and 95 health-related conferences; partnering with MSU College of Nursing to provide instruction about NLM resources to prospective nurses at the College's branch campuses; partnering with the Montana Dietetics Internship MDI Director/Montana Dietetic Association to educate MDI interns about NLM nutrition-related resources and how to integrate technology into their practice; partnering with Montana tribal college librarians to provide health information programming, including open access NLM resources, for their communities; and collaborating with the Office of Health Advancement to provide activities that promote healthy lifestyle choices among students on the MSU campus, a component of which will consist of sharing NLM resources with this population.
