event, “Health Questions for All Species”!* Go to tinyurl.com/OrRS2020
<https://sites.google.com/olaweb.org/oregon-reference-summit/home> to sign
up for this free webinar focused on reference services, scheduled for *Tuesday,
September 22 from 10:30-11:30am*.



Presenters Kristine Alpi and Tova Johnson, both from Oregon Health &
Science University, will talk about how to help patrons with questions
about human and animal health and nutrition, and how those may interrelate
in their lives. They 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 they will look at 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, the speakers 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.
