Subject: [HealthLiteracy 2054] New current awareness resource on 
healthliteracy resources

Friends,
 
I would like to announce the recently created Health Literacy Alerts 
http://healthliteracyalerts.blogspot.com.  This resource is to try to 
capture studies, reports and other information regarding health literacy 
in one place.  This was created as a companion resource to my LSUHSC-S 
Medical Library Evidence Alert.   You can use a feed reader to know when 
the site is updated or you can bookmark the page and return to it often. 
If I see resources mentioned online I will post those as well.  It won’t 
be able to gather everything published but it will at least give us one 
way to try to stay on top of the literature.  Most of the resources will 
NOT be available free since most are reports in journals.  Your library 
will need to have access to the journal or you might have to ask to 
receive the resource via interlibrary loan.  The focus will be on health 
literacy and not general literacy.  I just wouldn’t have time to cover all 
the literature published in general literacy.  If you see a resource 
please let me know and I can make an entry for it. 
 
Please let me know if you have any questions. 
 
Julie
