Network of the National Library of Medicine webinars
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

Just a reminder that the Network of the National Library of Medicine offers a number of free virtual courses. A couple of examples are below, to find the full listing go to: https://nnlm.gov/training. Details and contacts listed on each course registration page. Addressing Health Misinformation at the Scale of the Internet<https://nnlm.gov/class/addressing-health-misinformation-scale-internet/31120> In this session, we will focus on the unique role that health practitioners, experts and library systems can play in responding to related challenges. We will review existing interventions that social media platforms are deploying to try to address health misinformation at global, internet scales, the strengths and limitations of these approaches, and how physicians of the future can contribute to a healthier online information ecosystem. Further, as the shape of health misinformation on social media platforms evolves situationally across geography, demographics, and subject matter, public health expertise must be better integrated into the design of content moderation interventions on these platforms. For public health experts to make informed and achievable recommendations, however, they must be familiar with the affordances of social media platforms that enable or limit interventions to mitigate the spread and impact of health misinformation. Class Date: Region/Office: National Mar 22, 2021 1:00PM - 2:00PM ET Transgender Health: Focus on Gender Identity & Inclusivity<https://nnlm.gov/class/transgender-health-focus-gender-identity-inclusivity…> With approximately 1 million adults in the U.S. identifying as Transgender/Gender Non-Binary (TGNB), less than one percent of physicians fall within this number, and the number continually decreases when surveying medical students, with a mere 0.7 percent identifying as TGNB (Dimant et.al.)(link is external)<https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/trgh.2019.0021>. Join us to learn about the importance of representation and advocacy for and by TGNB individuals in the healthcare system.

JFJ Disc Repair Systems
by Mary Barker 25 Mar '21

For libraries that use the JFJ Disc Repair System, I have 19 white repair pads for sale. I ordered the wrong ones and can't return them and need to find a new home for them. They sell for $19.98 each from Demco. I will sell them for $5 each or if someone needs all 19 for $75. These do not work for the JFJ Easy Pro Disc Repair System.
