With that excellent discussion that you all had about how public
librarians can help health consumers find good information, I made up a
short article to send out to lots of public librarians.  My goal was to
be positive--to say what they really CAN do, not just what they CAN'T. 
I've credited the advisory group and also the individuals who
contributed.  Please let me know by June 19 if there's a problem with
any of it.  After that, I'll send it out widely.  Here's the web address
of the article:
