MLA and the National Institutes of Health/National Library of Medicine (NLM) are looking for eight hospital-based libraries to pilot a new Health Information Literacy (HIL) Curriculum. This curriculum is designed to increase health care provider knowledge of health information literacy issues, increase patient and provider use of NLM and other consumer resources, and promote the role of librarians as key providers of health information literacy resources and support.If you are interested in making your hospital library a pilot site, you must submit an application form and letter of commitment from the hospital administration documenting organizational commitment to long-term delivery of consumer health information services. Hospital-based libraries of any size and type, and serve any geographic area are eligible. See the Pilot Training Selection Criteria document for a description of the selection criteria, training site expectations, and the support that training sites will receive from the project.All applicants will be notified of their selection status by January 30, 2008.
