Go Local Nebraska and CHIRS - Your local information resources for health-related issues

Thanks to the support and technical leadership of the Nebraska Library Commission, a recorded presentation on Go Local Nebraska and CHIRS is up on NCompass Live:
http://www.nlc.state.ne.us/scripts/training/eventshow.asp?ProgID=8982

The presentation, given March 18, 2009, is designed to inform libraries in Nebraska about these two valuable information resources, and how they can be used to support library patrons and communities. A key piece of information given in the presentation applies to any state or region with a Go Local directory service: local libraries need to check their community's health services listings, and send updates/additions to their Go Local for inclusion. By doing so, each Go Local directory will improve and grow richer with up-to-date local information.

If you are a Nebraska library and would like to update your community's health listings, please contact golocal@unmc.edu and let us know you would like to help.
