Abstract
Three librarians at LSU Health Shreveport partnered with staff members at the Shreveport service center of the Girl Scouts of Louisiana–Pines to the Gulf to teach girls about nutrition. The librarians provided instruction to the staff on healthelinks, MedlinePlus, and the other National Library of Medicine databases. They worked with the staff to incorporate these online resources into the nutrition curriculum for the Girl Scout leaders to use with their troops. They also provided two laptop computers, promotional items, and teaching aids. The program was repeated in the summer for week-long day camps designed to introduce girls to Scouting. The librarians had the opportunity to work directly with more than 100 girls at these camps to introduce them to authoritative, age-appropriate web sites on nutrition.
