Items?
Consumer Health services have expanded in Eugene with the addition
of the
second PeaceHealth Health Information Center. Staffed by Mary
Johnson,
formerly a Reference Librarian at OHSU in Portland, the new Center
is
located in
the Barger Medical Building and provides a range of services --from
loaning
a book or video, to running MEDLINE searches as needed. Also
located at
Barger is an innovative Senior Health and Wellness Center serving
especially
the 'frail and elderly', a group whose health information needs
can be
quite complex. Joint projects for the HIC and Senior Health include
a
just-published article on web searching for Seniors which Johnson
wrote
for the "Lane County Oregon Senior Living Resource Guide".

Internet for School Nurses Project
The OHSU Library has recently been involved in an NLM funded project
working with school nurses in Multnomah County. The project consisted
of
hands-on workshops with 7 groups of school nurses, and a web page
designed
for their easy access to health information on the Internet <
http://www.ohsu.edu/library/staff/judkinsd/schoolnurse/>, as
well as a
listserv for the nurses. Since most school nurses work independently,
the
listserv was a way for the nurses to discuss with their peers
questions or
problems they were having.
Jama Chorush was hired as a trainer for the project, and she
and Dolores
Judkins designed the web page and taught the workshops. The project
appears to have been very successful, as the web page is highly
used with
244 direct hits during March. Comments from the particpants such
as "this
class was awesome", "you guys are geniuses", and
"you should teach this
class all over the country" indicate that the school nurses
valued the
time
spent in the workshops, and are particularly happy with the web
page, as
many of them commented that now they only need to go to one place
to find
the information they need.
