More specifically, the authors wanted to know what health resources are of interest to the community, what patrons' perceptions of their experience at the center are, and finally, how staff can increase utilization of the center. In general, perceptions of the center were positive. The findings support that participants appreciate efforts to provide health information in the public library setting and that utilization could be improved through marketing and outreach.Pages 35-395 page(s)application/pdfenIn CopyrightTechnologyInformation Science & Library ScienceDRUG WARNING LABELSLOW-LITERACYINFORMATIONIMPACTInformation & Library Sciences0807 Library and Information StudiesHumansHealth EducationInternetInformation CentersLibrary ServicesCommunity-Institutional RelationsVirginiaConsumer Health InformationConsumer BehaviorCommunity perceptions and utilization of a consumer health centerArticle - Refereed2022-01-26Journal of the Medical Library Associationhttps://doi.org/10.3163/1536-5050.103.1.0071031Rafie, Carlin [0000-0002-1402-5650]255529431558-9439
