"The capacity to understand and communicate health information is a major international
health concern. Sponsored by the Health and Biosciences Section of International Federation
of Library Associations, this book highlights the contribution that librarians are
making to improving health literacy and enabling citizens to be active participants
in the management of their own health. Knowledge is power and the World Health Organization
recognizes that health literacy, involving effective access to and understanding of
health information, is essential to health and well-being in society by empowering
and enabling citizens to participate in their own healthcare. The book presents inspiring
studies from an international group of authors showing how libraries and librarians
are partnering with diverse sectors of society including universities, hospitals,
public health clinics, community-based organisations, voluntary bodies and government
agencies, to help citizens understand and manage their health. It provides guidance
by example to suggest how libraries can help citizens participate in their healthcare
and their communities by collaborating with others to increase health literacy in
society." -- Publisher website
