This is a guide to resources for Health Education and Behavior available through the UF Libraries and other reputable online sources. Each page links to different types of resources to assist with your information needs. Please contact your liaison librarian, Jane Morgan-Daniel, at morgandanie.jane@ufl.edu if you need extra help or have suggestions for additional resources.
In addition to course-integrated instruction, the library offers classes on searching individual databases, reference management, medical terminology, systematic reviews, and other topics for students, staff, and faculty. Registration is required for these classes. This calendar contains all of the standalone library workshops offered at the HSC Library and provides links to register.
