Ebsco is offering a free Flu Information Resource that provides patient education information in 17 languages and continually updated, evidence-based clinical information. Another resource, Flu.gov, offers comprehensive information about the flu and the vaccine in multiple languages.

As public concern about Pandemic H1N1 (swine flu) and the upcoming flu season continues to grow, medical and nursing editors from EBSCO Publishing are making the latest evidence-based flu-related information available for free.

This flu information resource provides patient education information in 17 languages from Patient Education Reference Center™, as well as continually updated, evidence-based clinical information from DynaMed™ and Nursing Reference Center™, EBSCO’s clinical and nursing point-of-care databases.

The Austin Public Library offers several health databases including Consumer Health Complete, Health Source: Consumer Edition, Alt HealthWatch, and more. Consult them for reliable and up-to-date information.

APL Cardholders can access these resources from home and office computers 24 hours a day. They are available to everyone at all Library locations. To find out more call 974-7400 or stop by any APL location.
