I am working with a community based health resource centre called Health
Connections which has a mandate to help people to access health
information, programs and services. Health Connections is a service of
the health authority and delivered in partnership with the public
library. We are compiling resources with health literacy and cultural
competency in mind. Web resources will also be identified. I would like
to see the plain language items clearly identified on the our website,
currently in development.

My question is - What words, phrases and/or common symbols are used to
identify plain language resources?

Many thanks for this very helpful list serve.
