Through a posting this morning, Julie McKinney, the Health Literacy List Moderator, announced “…I am excited to announce that the Health Literacy Special Collection has been completely updated and expanded and is now up online with an expanded focus and collection of resources for people doing any kind of health literacy work.

This revised collection has more curricula, easy-to-read and multilingual health information, along with links to research sources, but it also has information on collaborations between health and literacy agencies, professional development and tranining opportunities, plain language resources and more.

I hope that you can all use this as a springboard to resources that will help you in your helath literacy efforts, whatever they may be.
