Bioterrorism information and misinformation have flooded the Internet.

People want to know what they can do to protect themselves and their families.
Neglected areas of medical science are suddenly relevant.
Public officials must rethink emergency plans.

Are you ready with the information they need?

 

Academic, public, and medical libraries are called upon to provide information to their clients on bioterrorism in all its aspects. With an unprecedented amount of information released over the Internet, published in medical journals news stories, and the popular press, librarians must know how to quickly identify the best and most current information. Our half day symposium will provide you with:

  • the medical facts
  • the relevant resources for your library
  • tips on library planning
2.5 Continuing Education Credits are available for public librarians from the Pennsylvania Library Association
