Millions of Americans search for health information on the Web every year.
Whether the health information is needed for personal reasons or for a
loved one, millions of health-related Web pages are viewed by millions
of consumers. Sometimes the information found is just what was needed.
Other searches end in frustration or retrieval of inaccurate, even dangerous,
information.
This guide outlines the collective wisdom of medical librarians who surf
the Web every day to discover quality information in support of clinical
and scientific decision making by doctors, scientists, and other health
practitioners responsible for the nation's health. This guide is supported
by the Medical Library Association (MLA), the library organization whose
primary purpose is promoting quality information for improved health and
whose members were the first to realize that not all health information
on the Web is credible, timely, or safe.
