Abstract: |
As consumers increasingly look to the Internet to find answers to their health-related questions, NOAH-the New York Online Access to Health, has been connecting visitors to reliable, relevant, and bilingual (English and Spanish) online resources since 1995. This unique Internet pathfinder is the result of a grass-roots, New York City library-based partnership formed in 1994. NOAH is distinguished by its community-focused philosophy and user-friendly search capability. The general public can quickly link to quality filtered, full-text, accurate, and authoritative information. The discussion will illustrate the distinctive features of NOAH's content, organization, and selection, and will examine various search techniques and tips. NOAH can be reached at . |
