HSL is being honored with a 2004 Blue Ribbon Consumer Health Information Recognition Award from the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS). These awards highlight libraries that promote healthy lifestyles. The award will be presented by Washington Secretary of State, Sam Reed, in a ceremony on Nov 17, 2004, to Sherrilynne Fuller, Director, HSL.
HSL receives the award for its efforts in providing accurate, useful, consumer health information in a variety of ways (e.g. the EthnoMed web site, Tribal Connections project and reference services) to the people of the state of Washington.
Award winners were chosen based on the overall success of the library's consumer health information services program, with particular emphasis on the program's potential impact, innovativeness, and replicability. Winning entries will be compiled into a report of best practices in consumer health information distribution done through libraries.
