1) Hoaxes and Scams

2) Health Information--Collection Development
The Weekly MEDLINEPlus E-Mail Announcement List
MEDLINEPlus from the National Library of Medicine is a top choice for authoritative health information. The MEDLINEPlus E-Mail Announcement List (weekly) will notify you of all new MEDLINEPlus resources (we mention some on ResourceShelf) including new "Health Topic" compilations. Each update also contains DIRECT LINKS to all of the underlying resources added to each health topic page during the previous week. This is a "must have" for anyone interested in web-based health material and/or building a local collection of this type of information. To subscribe, simply go to this page and select the MEDLINEPLUS-NEW box. If you would like to see what the updates look like, I've posted a couple of them here.
