In the February 6th NY Times Sunday Magazine, Virginia Heffernan wrote about the hazards on online medical advice sites, comparing WebMD and May Clinic Health Information.  This week’s Magazine section published a letter from Hahnemann Libraries’ Linda Katz, recommending the National Library of Medicine’s MedlinePlus as a highly-trusted site for consumer health information, free from advertising or product endorsements.

MedlinePlus, the National Library of Medicine’s excellent consumer health information source, is now available in an easy-to-navigate format for mobile devices.  Visit http://m.medlineplus.gov/ to browse Health Topics, Drug Information and recent Health News — in English or in Spanish!
