Emporia State University presents a free webinar, Health Literacy and Young Adults, on 19 November 2024 at 13.00 US Central time (which is 19.00 UK time). Speakers are: Lesley Farmer, Jill R. Kavanaugh, Shawn Steidinger, Deborah H. Charbonneau and Emily Vardell.
"This webinar will explore opportunities for public and school librarians to support the health literacy of young adults. A panel of experts will seek to equip librarians with the information and tools they need to be responsive to the varied health information needs and literacy levels of individuals in their communities. By understanding the health information needs and behaviors of adolescents and young adults (AYA), librarians can be more effective in supporting AYA’s health. Librarians are uniquely positioned to advocate for easy-to-read materials, design and deliver information literacy instruction about combating online misinformation, and optimize their effectiveness by partnering with community experts to provide appropriate health-related resources, services, and programs. The evidence-based, practical approaches discussed in this webinar are designed to help build capacity for health literacy work in public libraries, with a focus on supporting young adults’ health information needs."
