IFLA Report: Health Information

At the IFLA 2010 conference, there was a session on health information. I'll pick out two presentations:
Small steps to a healthier nation: providing and delivering health information across Wales
SUE THOMAS (Health Promotion Library, Department for Public Health and Health Professions, Welsh Assembly Government, Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom) http://www.ifla.org/files/hq/papers/ifla76/100-thomas-en.pdf and she was talking about the Health Promotion Library: http://www.wales.gov.uk/healthpromotionlibrary

Public access to health information: how partnerships can strengthen the role of librarians in developing health
SHANE GODBOLT (Partnerships in Health Information, Pinner, United Kingdom), EMMA STANLEY (Partnerships in Health Information, Wimborne, United Kingdom) and PAUL STURGES Loughborough University, United Kingdom) http://www.ifla.org/files/hq/papers/ifla76/100-godbolt-en.pdf
