NYU Consumer Health Libraries Launch New Web sites
2008-09-17 | Filed Under HSL-Report, Patient & Family Resource Center |
The NYU Consumer Health Libraries have launched new Web sites at nyupatientlibrary.org. Designed to reflect and respond to the health information needs of NYU Langone Medical Center patients, their families and caregivers, as well as patient educators, these Web sites feature selected, organized links to carefully filtered and selected consumer health Web sites.
You may be aware that 80% of internet users have searched for health information online, but did you know that most of them rarely check the date or source of information they find? A recent study also found that less than half of users can tell the difference between “sponsored” results and unpaid results. Using the NYU Consumer Health Library health topics as a starting point ensures that health information seekers will benefit from the filtering provided by our librarians. Subscribe to the RSS feed of one or all three of the Web sites for continuing updates on what’s new and interesting with patient health at NYU.
