In this webinar, librarians from the University of Florida with expertise in consumer health and health literacy will provide training for library staff interested in sharing trustworthy health information with their communities. The presenters will equip attendees to teach their users about health information resources, and to understand the challenges those with limited health literacy face in understanding health information.
