Abstract
"The main aim of this study is to
investigat epublic libraries’ responses and willingness in providing
health information services to tribal communities. Data was collected
from11 library professionals using a structured
interview method and 276 tribal women through a survey. The data was
then analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).The findings show that most of
the
participating libraries (72.8%) did not provide any specific service for tribal-community engagement, although
all of them were very positive in initiating it. On the other hand,
the majorityof the tribal women were interested in getting health-related
information from public libraries. ‘Community engagement fo rhealth
literacy’ could be a new formula for tribal communities in this regard."
