Event Description
Medical questions are among the most dreaded at any public library service desk - how do I ask for more information without prying (and, how do I avoid getting way too much information)?What's my best place to start? What databases and books do I need in my library, and how do I use them? How do I know a website contains reliable information? What if I just can't find the answer?
Discover the reference desk basics for answering your customers' medical questions in this hands-on program , where (and how) to draw the line, and when and where to refer your patients, whoops, customers.
