Program Description:
Rising health care costs, economic instability, and the proactive nature of today's society are contributing to more
and more individuals seeking out health information online and in print. Are you and your library ready to meet the
diverse needs of these health information seekers? Are you effectively marketing your health-related services and
resources?
This program emphasizes quality print and electronic resources as well as the roles and responsibilities of patients, library information professionals and health care professionals in the information seeking process. Join the speaker in exploring various aspects of the health reference experience including the need to respect patient privacy, how to accommodate the cultural diversity of our clientele, matching the right types of resources to specific clients, and ways to successfully navigate tricky health reference situations. The program will also look at ways to promote the health resources and services that you have to offer.

Goal:
Any library, whether it is school, public, academic, or special, is many things to the community it serves. A
library offers the information patrons need to improve their quality of life. A library provides open access to
technology and the world of online information, as well as guidance on navigating that world. A library also
gives their community something that is less tangible, yet just as essential to improving its patrons' lives:
nourishment not just for the mind, but the spirit as well.
How do libraries do that? Through the programming opportunities they create.
In this program we will look at some of the innovative programming libraries today are creating to meet the evolving needs of their patrons. We will also provide a basic primer for anyone who has always wanted to plan a program, but didn't know where or how to begin.
Speakers include:
- Penny Mandziara, Library/School Liaison for the Bensenville Community Public Library. Bensenville, Illinois
