   ABOUT THE 2006 HEALTH INFORMATION AWARDS FOR LIBRARIES

“One of the goals of the Commission is to strengthen the relevance of libraries in the lives
of Americans, and I can think of no better way to do this than to identify and recognize
library programs that help increase awareness of healthy lifestyles. The NCLIS Health
Information Awards for Libraries does just that, and at the same time enables the
Commission to collect information about these successful programs and disseminate that
information, so that other libraries and health information organizations can study and, we
trust, emulate these best practices.”
