Who We Are

Mission
Rogue Librarians for Women's Health Literacy is a non-profit group staffed by librarians and volunteers who are dedicated to helping women from disadvantaged or underserved communities access and understand prevention, treatment and other facets of information related to women's health.

We strive to provide health information that is easy to understand using formats and interfaces that are appropriate for our audience. We select materials that:

• are current
• are easily accessible
• present balanced viewpoints
  
• are relevant to the diverse communities that we serve

Health literacy means having the ability to obtain, process and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions (Burnham, 2005). We believe that all people have the right to health information literacy.
