Subject: Evaluating Health Information

How do you know what to believe?  How do you direct your public library
clients to quality health information?  For guidance for your librarians
and for your clients, take a look at the links collected on this new page
in MEL - Evaluating Health Information on the Internet

Here you will find the Health on the Net (HON) Code of Prinicipals,
articles from JAMA and the American College of Physicians, "How to spot a
Quacky web site" and a recent article from NYT Cybertimes. 

You can reach this page from the front MEL Health menu or from this direct
