Virtual Realities - Information Pathways in a Digital World May 5, 2011

Carol Shields Auditorium, Millennium Library

Dr. Jennifer Keelan, Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto?s Dalla Lana School of Public Health, will give a talk on her research on the use of Second Life in relation to knowledge exchange and health literacy. This will be followed by a lively discussion and debate on the use and value of various Web 2.0 applications in Winnipeg?s libraries and, particularly, their relevance in improving access to information in health settings. There will also be continuing education opportunities in the morning.

We look forward to sharing this informative day with members of Manitoba?s library community. More details to follow.

MAHIP is a chapter of the Canadian Health Libraries Association.
