Recent outbreaks across the globe and in the U.S. have increased public
awareness of the potential public health impacts of infectious diseases. As
a result, many librarians are assisting their patrons in finding credible
information sources on topics such as Ebola, Chikungunya and pandemic
influenza.

The American Library Association (ALA) is encouraging librarians to
participate in “Fighting Ebola and Infectious Diseases with Information:
Resources and Search Skills Can Arm Librarians

a free webinar that will teach participants how to find and share reliable
health information. Librarians from the U.S. National Library of Medicine
