Dina McKelvy, MA, MLS, is the Director of the Medical Education: Library & Learning Commons at MaineHealth in Portland. She will be at the library to teach about credibility checks and scam recognition for medical sites and also about how to find reliable medical information online. This is important information for everyone, and I hope you will join us.
