As mentioned in a previous post titled, Some Developments, we will be having a guest blog posting. Well, here it is….

 

For those of you who have made New Year’s resolutions to improve your health and well-being in 2009, CADL is here to help.  The resources we offer extend beyond just books.  Magazines, local links, free handouts, databases, and reference books are all available.  You can search our online catalog to find titles that interest you.  Magazines are located on the 2^nd floor and all but the most current issue can be checked out for 3 weeks.  The local links section on our homepage provides links to local online resources for specific diseases and conditions and other concerns.  On the 2^nd floor, we have a 3-sided health resources kiosk on the east side of the floor near the magazines.  It is stocked with health alerts issued by the FDA, free pamphlets, and health/medical books.  We subscribe to high quality databases which you can search for journal and newspaper articles.  For further details or assistance, get in touch with the Reference Department at 517-367-6346, by email at http://www.cadl.org/answers/Ask-a-Librarian/,or in person during regular library hours.
