The Internet as diagnostic tool
by MHIK NET 23 Aug '13

23 Aug '13

Hi everyone, Just came across this excellent graphic talking about the public's use of the internet as a diagnostic tool from the Pew Internet & American Life Project. While the data is from the United States and not everyone in Manitoba has internet access it is still very interesting. I was interested to see that almost 60% of adults looked online for health information and 41% had their condition confirmed by a physician. http://www.pewinternet.org/Infographics/2013/Health-and-Internet-2012.aspx Sincerely, Carol -- Carol A.

Things to consider when searching the web... TED Talk from Eli Pariser
by Carol Cooke 19 Jul '13

19 Jul '13

Hello everyone, I was reminded today about how every search we do on the web is filtered. There is no longer any such thing as a standard search result. This can have a huge impact on how we look for information on any topic and is especially of concern when we are looking for evidence for our practise. If you have 10 minutes this amazing TED Talk [video] from Eli Pariser: Beware online "filter bubbles" is an interesting and thought provoking presentation. Video http://www.ted.com/talks/eli_pariser_beware_online_filter_bubbles.html Description: "As web companies strive to tailor their services (including news and search results) to our personal tastes, there's a dangerous unintended consequence: We get trapped in a "filter bubble" and don't get exposed to information that could challenge or broaden our worldview. Eli Pariser argues powerfully that this will ultimately prove to be bad for us and bad for democracy. Pioneering online organizer Eli Pariser is the author of "The Filter Bubble," about how personalized search might be narrowing our worldview." Sincerely, Carol -- Carol A. Cooke Acting MHIKNET Librarian Neil John Maclean Health Sciences Library University of Manitoba e. carol.cooke(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:carol.cooke@umanitoba.ca> p. 204-977-5660 c. 204-290-6710 w. http://mhiknet.lib.umanitoba.ca/

Hello everyone, Some of you have noticed us unsubscribing you from our MHIKNET-L mailing list. Please don't worry! We are updating our mailing list with the new Manitoba health region email addresses and so need to unsubscribe your old email from our list before we can add in your new email. This process will hopefully be completed over this summer as the regions finish amalgamating. Sincerely, Carol -- Carol A.
