Abstract
Health information literacy meets evidence-based practice
Highlights
The public outcry over the revised guidelines for breast cancer screening last fall should have been a wake-up call for all librarians involved with health information literacy and evidence-based practice (EBP)
Two strategies can help address the problem of recognizing good health information: health information literacy and EBP
Groups of medical librarians have been on the front lines of each of these strategies and need to join forces to increase the awareness of the public as to what constitutes quality evidence to support good decisions in health care
