Abstract
Abstract Patients and caregivers of patients with cancer are met with an untold amount of information resources, not all of which are ethical, accurate, healthy, or are simply motivated by profit or agenda. One way information professionals and health care providers can help sift through this overwhelming amount of resources is to provide credible and accessible cancer resources founded in evidence-based research and medicine. One such organization is the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, and their collection of Patient Resources.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet is the only professional peer-reviewed journal devoted to locating consumer health information via the Internet. In this journal librarians and health information providers describe programs and services aimed at helping patients and the general public find the health information they need. From the Editor: "Studies have shown that health information is one of the major reasons that people worldwide access the Internet. As the amount of health information on the Web increases exponentially, it becomes critical that librarians-including public and medical librarians-be knowledgeable about what is available online and be able to direct users to reliable, accurate, quality information."
