Project
Description
The Vera P. Shiffman Medical
Library at Wayne State University was awarded a multiphase contract from the Greater
Midwest Region of the National Network of
Libraries of Medicine to improve access to quality health information
and training opportunities for public health providers serving diverse communities in Detroit and
southeastern Michigan.
Overall, the primary goal of the Urban Health Partners program is
to promote and enhance health information services to
Detroit
’s public health professionals. The target audience for the
program is public health providers lacking traditional access to a medical
library serving hard-to-reach and underserved populations in southeastern
Michigan
. A secondary goal is to
facilitate improved access to an online collection of
organized, quality
Arabic-language health education materials for providers and
health information seekers.

information or interest in collaboration, please contact the project director.
