In Tennessee, several medical library outreach projects have involved collaborative work with health-care professionals, public librarians, consumers, faithbased organizations and community service agencies. The authors are medical librarians who worked as consultants, trainers and project directors to promote health literacy using PubMed and other health information resources in the several funding projects described here.
