Do you work in a public library? Are you interested in engaging with other public librarians and staff members to improve your knowledge and comfort with health and wellness related reference and services? Registration is now open for the February 2019 cohort of Stand Up for Health: Health and Wellness Services for You Community<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnnlm.gov%2Fclass%2Fstand-up-Feb-4-2019&data=02%7C01%7Cbcain%40library.ohio.gov%7C25679c4dc3754d83457908d643f65abc%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0%7C0%7C636771122703943591&sdata=nIkxKjoOWMrF3KOZLR5SllgQ3b7VH3NvwjHZxKYpvO0%3D&reserved=0>. This free online course was developed in cooperation with WebJunction, PLA, and public librarians to create a cohort learning experience and registration is limited to public library staff.

Over four weeks we will explore consumer health, health reference in a public library environment, free health resources for library staff and patrons, and developing health and wellness related programming. The course provides 12 continuing education (CE) hours from the Medical Library Association (MLA) and covers the five competencies required for a Consumer Health Information Specialization (CHIS) from MLA.

The course begins February 4 through March 3. Plan to spend 3-4 hours a week on course work. There are no set hours to be online each week, but it is important that you complete the discussion and assignment for each week in a timely fashion. New content will be released each Monday.

Because of the high demand for this class and the cohort model designed for sharing ideas and learning from other library staff at this time we are reserving space for public library staff.
