October is Health Literacy Month!

Celebrate and learn about your health literacy with the FIU Libraries - we have the health information you need, when you need it.

• Looking for easy-to-understand health information? Try MedlinePlus (also available in Spanish).
• Interested in websites for healthcare professionals? Check out our newest LibGuide with health literacy resources organized by topic.
• Need scholarly health and biomedical information? Explore the FIU Libraries' health sciences databases.

Take some time this month to learn about Medical Subject Headings, access a new trustworthy health resource, or simply pass by the FIU Libraries and meet your Health Sciences Librarian.

Improve your health literacy to improve your health!
