The URL is: http://careguides.med.umich.edu/ The site includes materials that have been created by U-M Health System experts on many difficult-to-find topics, rare conditions and state-of-the-art therapies. It also includes materials from other organizations that have been reviewed and approved by U-M experts. Print materials, videos, websites and apps are included. Feel free to link http://careguides.med.umich.edu/ to your library's website and help your patrons access clinician-vetted, current and accurate patient-education materials.

need contractor information
by Lisa Waskin 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

We are looking for referrals from libraries, especially in the EUP, or close proximity, (or that will travel here) for companies and contractors who have installed handicapped accessible doors on your building in the past 2-3 years please? Would you use them again? What did you learn from the experience that you would do differently next time? Any input is helpful and welcome. Thank you ahead of time, Lisa Lisa Poignant Waskin Director Superior District Library 541 Library Drive Sault Sainte Marie, MI 49783 906.632.9331 v 906.635.0210 f lisaw(a)uproc.lib.mi.us http://joomla.uproc.lib.mi.us/SDL/

low-adhesive stickers for book, CD labeling
by Farrell Howe 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

I am in need of some help. I am trying to find a company that would print custom stickers that have a low-adhesive glue that can be easily removed from books and DVD/CD covers. The ones I recently had printed work great on books, but are difficult to get off of DVD cases. Does anyone have a company they can recommend please? Thank you, Farrell Howe Marketing & Communications Manager Kalamazoo Public Library 269-553-7879 | www.kpl.gov<http://www.kpl.gov/> [cid:image002.jpg@01CDBD09.DBA0DB80]<http://www.kpl.gov/>

Unattended minors during school day
by Kat Boyer 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

We're starting to be inundated with school children coming to the library during the school day. They are here for various reasons and I was wondering what some of the other library's policies are towards unattended minors in the library during the school day since we are trying to rework our policy here. Thank you, Kat Boyer Interim Director Benton Harbor Public Library

University of Michigan patient education materials are available free to your library and patrons
by Volk, Ruti 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Hello all, The content on the Care Guides<http://careguides.med.umich.edu/> site, is a bit different than what is typically found on public hospital sites. All materials posted on the Care Guides site were either created by University of Michigan clinicians, or reviewed and approved by our experts. The Care Guides site enables patients, families and the general public to access the same database our clinicians use to provide patient-education at the bedside or the exam-room, including patient instructions used in our Electronic Medical Record System. This content is quite different from health information purchased from vendors, which is typically what visitors find on public hospital sites. For example, on the Botsford site, the health information content was purchased from ADAM. Our own U-M Health System public website, uofmhealth.org<http://uofmhealth.org/> displays content purchased from Healthwise. (There are several other vendors that sell this type of content, Krames, McKesson and a few others, so basically many public hospital websites display the same generic content on their “health library” or “health information” section). http://careguides.med.umich.edu/ includes over 900 U-M Health System authored materials. Our clinicians create materials if they are not able to find existing materials that meet their needs. Some highlights of our original content include: • Resources for Children with Multiple Disabilities and Becoming an Adult: For Youth with Developmental Disabilities (comprehensive guides focusing on resources in Michigan) - find with the keyword “disabilities" • 21 instructions sheets on using specific types of inhalers - find with the keyword “inhaler” • Pressure Ulcer Patient Video – specifically for people with spinal cord Injury who are at high risk for developing pressure ulcers, a potentially life-threatening complication. Find with the keyword “pressure ulcer” • Taking Care of Your Stoma video and Taking Care of Your Tracheostomy video – find with the keywords “stoma video” or “trach video” These are just a few examples of unique materials available on the Care Guides Site.

All email is considered confidential unless otherwise noted Hello All, Ruti, thanks for sharing your link and no doubt these guides could be very useful. Might I humbly suggest that each public library consider linking to their local hospital(s) which often have health information materials available on their website, as well as information for the local public on the hospital services and physicians. For instance, Botsford Hospital serves Livonia, Southfield, Western Detroit, Novi, West Bloomfield, and other surrounding areas.
