¿No Comprende? Spanish Health Information Resources for English Speaking Librarians Workshops

¿No Comprende? Spanish Health Information Resources for English Speaking Librarians Workshops will be held at SENYLRC and the Finkelstein Memorial Library in Spring Valley.

Do you have a Spanish speaking population in your community? Do you need to find health information in Spanish but don’t know where to look? If so, then this class is for you. Participants in this hands-on class will be introduced to online resources for basic, library, medical and technical (web and computer-related) Spanish vocabulary. You will also learn to evaluate and identify health websites in Spanish to which you can direct your patrons.

Ms. O’Shea holds an M.L.S. from Rutgers University Graduate School of Communication, Information and Library Science, as well as an undergraduate degree in Spanish and Communications, also from Rutgers.
