Two Good Reads

Wow, the NN/LM MCR news blog posted links today to two good reads:

Navigating Health: The Role of Health Literacy
Read this online PDF with a discussion on the importance and usefullness of health information. “Access to good, reliable information is the cornerstone of health literacy. Yet providing information,even good information, is often not enough. Somehow, we need to build in the right communications channels to make sure that health information translates into healthy behaviours.” http://www.ilcuk.org.uk/downloads/NavigatingHealth%20FINAL.pdf

What is Social Media eBook
What is social media? In this new free e-book from Spannerworks, you will learn about the components of social media including blogs, social networks, content communities, wikis, podcasts and mash-ups.

This is a great introduction to “social” media for a beginner. Get the PDF here.

    The latter is very useful. Thanks for drawing attention to it. Shouldn;t it be, “What Are Social Media”–ho ho.
