Hello and welcome. This new blog is our way of bringing JCHLA’s consumer health information column online, to a format that’s easier to discover and retrieve and to a space that’s more conducive to links and discussion. My plan is to pre-publish column content here on a regular basis and add some juicy extra content - event announcements, topical commentary, etc. - that won’t necessarily appear in JCHLA.
JCHLA readers know that librarian extraordinaire Susan Murray wrote the CHI column for ten years, so I’d like to start by thanking Susan for her writing and for her advice to me as I took this on. Thank you, Susan. I’d also like to invite everyone to contribute and comment; it’s not much of a conversation without you! I need your ideas and expertise to make this blog a truly valuable resource. Please comment here. You can also e-mail me at melaniewise1_ at gmail dot_com.
