TOPIC:  National Library of Medicine Exhibits: Managing Information Around Public Health Emergencies and Pandemics

Description: Patricia Tuohy will introduce the Exhibition Program’s new Exhibitions Connect initiative, curated resource guides of health information resources related to individual banner exhibitions. Highlighting the new National Library of Medicine exhibition “Politics of Yellow Fever in Alexander Hamilton's America,” as a case study, Ms Tuohy will review the Exhibition Program’s strategy for creating this resource guide, and how host venues will be able to use the guide to connect their communities to NLM resources.

Christie Moffatt will discuss how NLM’s Web Collecting and Archiving Working Group collects born-digital web resources on public health emergencies, such as the Ebola Outbreak of 2014, the 2016 Zika Virus health threat, and most recently, on the ongoing opioid epidemic.
