REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS As discussed earlier, “reasonable accommodation” is a legal term that refers to an adjustment in the workplace that can help employees continue to work while going through treatment. Collaborate with your employee to come up with a reasonable accommodation that works best for both of you. Employees may require more than one accommodation, and their needs may evolve over time as their treatment and side effects change. Maintain an ongoing dialogue with your employee on what is working and what isn’t, so you can adjust accordingly while ensuring a productive workplace for all. The Job Accommodation Network (JAN) is an excellent resource for guidance on workplace accommodations and disability employment laws. It also provides a searchable database of possible reasonable accommodations. For more information, visit www.askjan.org.

Here’s How To Floss You should floss under both sides of each flap of gum tissue between your teeth. The following technique is very effective: Break off about 18 inches of floss and wind several inches of one end around one of your middle fingers. Wind several inches of the loose end of floss around the middle finger of the other hand. Grasp the floss with the thumb and forefinger of each hand, leaving about an inch of floss between the two hands. Pull the floss taut and use a gentle sawing motion to insert it between two teeth. When the floss reaches the gum, curve the floss into a C-shape against one of the teeth. Slide the floss gently into the space between the tooth and the gum until you feel resistance. Holding the floss tightly against the tooth, scrape up and down five or six times along the side of the tooth. Without removing the floss, curve it around the adjacent tooth and scrape that one too. Repeat on the rest of your teeth. Don’t forget the far sides of the rear teeth. When the floss becomes frayed or soiled, a turn of each middle finger brings out a fresh section of floss. After flossing, rinse vigorously with water and then brush teeth.

Over 7,000 diseases are considered rare in the United States, affecting 30 million people nationally (1,2). Patients affected by rare diseases not only deal with the attendant challenges of illness but also face many additional barriers due to having a condition that is rare. Rare Disease Day, observed every February 29 , the rarest day of the year, is a way to raise awareness of rare diseases and provide support for those affected by rare diseases. (In non-leap years, Rare Disease Day is held on February 28). Rare Disease Day provides an opportunity for librarians to provide resources and programming in support of this patient community. This article discusses resources and programming that librarians can develop in support of patients with rare diseases and highlights some rare disease programming conducted at one consumer health library in observance of Rare Disease Day.
