About the Consumer Health Guide
Welcome to the guide for consumer health information. It is not the intention of the University Library to provide medical advice, but rather to provide users with information to better understand their health and their diagnosed disorders. Please consult with a qualified physician for diagnosis and for answers to your personal questions.
This guide is designed to provide information and links to important resources for education and research in the area of consumer health.
To request a consultation or instructional session, contact Peg Burnette, Biomedical Sciences Librarian phburn@illinois.edu
