Abstract
When planning the purchase, management, delivery, and evaluation of electronic resources in a health sciences setting, it is useful to consider the broader landscape of how users seek and understand health information. To that end, the author examined reports that provide useful insights related to information-seeking behavior and health literacy. This column summarizes salient points of some Pew Research Center and Institute of Medicine publications and makes suggestions for incorporating some of these ideas into academic health center and hospital library operations and outreach efforts.
