If you missed the latest WebJunction webinar on the Affordable Care Act and libraries be sure to register for the August 28 event. Meaningful Use: Libraries connecting patrons to ACA resources -- This webinar will explore strategies for libraries to identify ACA resources, hear from libraries that are working to prepare for patron requests, and obtain key policy and resource updates from ACA experts. http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/Libraries_and_ACA_Resources.ht... As libraries look ahead to the October 1 open enrollment date for the health insurance marketplace, there is an abundance of information about the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and many opportunities for public libraries. One of the key roles that libraries can play is to maintain an awareness of available resources in your area, and develop an approach for connecting patrons to those resources in the way that makes the most sense for your community. Please join us for this interactive session, where we will discuss strategies for libraries to identify ACA resources, hear from libraries that are working to prepare for patron requests, and obtain key policy and resource updates from ACA experts. The webinar will take place at 1pm Eastern time. Also, be sure to visit MeL.org Health and Wellness for links to key information resources for your community. http://www.mel.org/index.php?P=SPT--BrowseResources&ParentId=984 Shannon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shannon D.
