Dear Colleagues,

 

Here is a friendly, informative message from Sandra Darling, the SABES
Literacy Librarian.

 

 

The American Association for the Advancement of Science has developed a
useful and high-quality health series as part of their Healthy People
Library Project. Plain language booklets about the science of common
chronic illnesses are available in print and online. The booklets focus
on the science behind the disease, their causes, possible cures,
treatments, promising research and other issues. 

 

The SABES Literacy Library has the publications.

The Science Inside: Asthma and Allergies

The Science Inside: Diabetes

The Science Inside: Fitness and Nutrition

The Science Inside: Having Healthy Babies

The Science Inside: High Blood Pressure

The Science Inside: HIV and AIDS

Please email Sandra.darling at umb.edu if you would like to borrow a print
booklet. Materials will be mailed and may be returned to your local
Massachusetts library. 

 

They are also downloadable at 
http://www.healthlit.org/scienceInside/index.htm

This site also links to other good health resources. 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Carol
