Disclosure statement:
Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: I am qualified to be a session Organizer on the content I am responsible for because I have extensive experience working with Web 2.0 technologies and public health. I have received funding from the National Library of Medicine to work with two local health departments to provide training on Web 2.0 technologies as well as integrating those technologies into their work. I have also received funding from the University of Michigan Library to study the use of Facebook for health education. I have taught a three credit course at the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health on Social Technologies for Health Communications. I have also taught numerous courses for the Michigan Public Health Technology Conference, sponsored by the Michigan Association for Local Public Health, including Web 2.0 and Public Health, Health Marketing and Social Media, Creating a Blog for Your Health Department, and Second Life for Public Health. As the Public Health Informatics Librarian at the University of Michigan Health Sciences Libraries, I work on many projects involving the use of Web 2.0 technologies for public health and maintain a blog which covers issues surrounding public health and information technology. I have a master’s degree in Information and Library Science from the University of Michigan and have taken graduate level coursework in public health at the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health.
