I'm looking for examples of health information literacy activities in Public Libraries for a book chapter that I'm writing. Much of the reported public library activities however seem to center on the provision of health information in the form of books, leaflets and bookmarked reliable health websites (such as NHS Choices and NHS Informs, and schemes such as Books on Prescription. There may be information literacy activities within the provision offered but it seems to be implicit rather than explicit. Does anyone offer or know of any activities that offer explicit information literacy activities either with a health element or as part of the health information service?
