Rationale

The class sessions follow two arcs:
  1. You begin by experiencing and learning about health information from the perspective of researcher, patient, academic, healthcare worker, etc. -- these are your future colleagues and patrons;
  2. Afterwards, you will examine the role of information centers and information professionals in addressing the needs and experiences of these groups.
