Promoting Go Local Nebraska to Nebraska hospitals

Go Local Nebraska, CHIRS, and MedlinePlus were promoted to an exhibit of health care organization recruiters at UNMC on September 18th. The event was coordinated by MINK Midwest MD http://www.mink-midwest.org/index.php . Teri Hartman, member of the Go Local Nebraska committee, gave Go Local Nebraska and CHIRS information to the following Nebraska organizations: Alegent (Omaha Metro), Methodist (Omaha Metro), Gordon Memorial Health Services (Gordon, NE), Beatrice Community Hospital and Health Center (Beatrice, NE), Sentinel Health Care (Kearney, NE), and North Platte. Hartman encouraged all recipients to send their feedback on how their Go Local Nebraska listing appeared in the database. Marty Magee, NN/LM-MCR Education/Nebraska Liaison, gave MedlinePlus and other National Library of Medicine information resource information to exhibitors from all four states - Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and Kansas. It was wonderful to reach so many communities and not even leave campus!

If there are events such as this taking place in your community, please consider attending and take CHIRS/Go Local Nebraska/MedlinePlus/your library brochures, baseball cards, and magnets. Let both the exhibitors and the attendees know the great health information services that exist solely to fill their information needs.
