Health literacy

I as a citizenship in the information society, not as a library and information specialist, am I able to make a right decision in my health problem.

I as a one who enjoys social networking in cyberspace to better communicate and better push a head, must to do a better choice when face a health problem.

Compare two people when face ill health. One start weeping, crying and feeling helpless,
The other one keeps calm then thinks to the choices and makes a good decision to release from the pain and problem.
Do I am a health literate?
Which one you would like to be? Vulnerable, dependent and sloucher or powerful one, dependable and knowledgeable one?


Do you think to offer your part to society and nature that has already granted and blessed you?

There are many organizations , nonprofit , individualand 3rd parties that they are sharing their own or their collected/selected information to help themselves and others to find a right path. For example see the folowings:

Library 2.0; The Libraries Image in the Mirror of Web 2.0

This is the abstract of article written by Dr V. Vishwa Mohan and Vahideh Zarea Gavgani and presrented in 53rd All India Library conference, 13-16 December 2007. It has been published in the Conference Procceding . The Slide Show will be shared for more information.



The intrinsic image of libraries, in the society or in the organisation or institution wherever they are located, is salient and nuclear. But, the libraries and the librarianship did not enjoy such an imposing image so far. The emerging web 2.0 environment might provide ample scope for the libraries to project their due image as library 2.0. The paper discusses the probable features of library 2.0 and presents a brief account of the image of the library 2.0 in the mirror of Web 2.0. It concludes with a hope that in the mirror of Web 2.0 the image of Library 2.0 will be more glorious.

Developing library and information recources and services in the Internet Era
