10:30 - 11:30 am

Health Questions for All Species
Kristine Alpi & Tova Johnson, Oregon Health & Science University
Health Questions for All Species is a broad session to address supporting people with questions about human and animal health and nutrition, and how those may interrelate in their lives.  We will start with sharing examples of questions received at academic health libraries in Oregon and North Carolina about human and animal health, and suggesting efficient and quality health information sources to address common questions. Then, we will address the interpersonal and technical challenges with searching the literature for evidence, and how to help consumers and families navigate these challenges. Strategies offered will vary based on audience literacy levels, position in the health care decision making process, and access to journal articles and other content for professional audiences available through your library.  Finally, we will discuss options for referring questions that have exceeded a library’s capacity to assist the requester, the associated privacy issues with sharing health care information, and what requesters can expect on referral.
