The Maternal and Child Health Library at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., has posted a new MCH Professional Education resource to help students, faculty, and professionals locate just the right information to meet their educational needs. It guides site visitors in the use of the library collections and points to significant external resources in MCH fields.

This resource is part of a new MCH Library website redesign that provides an updated look and makes it easier to locate information aimed at specific audiences.  In addition to the MCH Professional Education resource, there are pages for professionals, for families, and for schools. The Resources for Families page contains a new set of 19 briefs that list resources for care, services, and support and Web sites that are aimed at parents, kids and teens.

The site is visually appealing, with new photos and graphics. An enhanced search feature allows users to select display formats and to create their own resource lists by checking off items from materials found in their searches. An updated sidebar and an A-Z Index guide visitors through the site, as well.

A new feature highlights the 75th anniversary of Title V, and presents "75 Books for 75 Years," a book list of seminal and historical materials that are nominated by MCH Library visitors. An "In the News" page highlights significant developments related to public health and links to numerous federal and national public health news sources.

The site will continue to be developed with new features and new information, and user suggestions are always welcome.  Click here for the website, or contact the library here. To receive notices of new features and information, subscribe to the weekly MCH Alert here.
