摘要
Funding from the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) in the fall of 2004 assisted in the establishment of the Health-e Learning Project by the librarians of Meridian Health, a health system in southeastern New Jersey. Health-e Learning's project goal was to establish a self-sustaining educational initiative to steer older adults toward the reputable medical Web site MedlinePlus and to train them to navigate this site to self-manage a chronic condition. The Health-e Learning Project was not successful in transforming diabetes self-management as originally planned, with only a handful of older adults trained, too small a number to be statistically significant.
