Editor's Notes

  1. Patrons
  2. Sometimes, “passing the buck” is the best course of action.
  3. An example of a good referral system is San Francisco Public Library. Leah Esguerra is a social worker who has ties with several community health centers and shelters. This does not mean that we have to employ a social worker or a nurse in our library, but this is to emphasize the importance of knowing the resources available in your community.
  4. A – acetaminophenB – glucophage
  5. A – alprazolam (Xanax)B – naproxen (Aleve)
  6. A – Relafen (Anti-inflammatory)B - Tylenol
  7. Dr. Arnott-Smith is an associate professor in University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Library and Information Studies
