Description

With increasing public debate on complimentary and alternative medicines (CAM) library workers of all stripes need to be empowered to provide reference services on these topics.

Participants will leave this session with knowledge of relevant consumer health tools and resources on CAM. Open access resources will be emphasized. They will be able to offer patrons instruction on evaluating the relevance, accuracy and usefulness of information on these topics.

Presenters come from The University of New Mexico’s Health Sciences Library & Informatics Center where they provide instruction on these topics to health sciences students in pharmacy, nursing, and allied health programs.
