MedlinePlus quality consumer health information
MedlinePlus is a really good resource for quality consumer health information. It just recently added consumer health information in several languages.
The URL for consumer health in foreign language is:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/languages/languages.html
The URL for consumer health in foreign languages by topic is:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/languages/all_healthtopics.html
and the URL to retrieve primarily quality information in English is: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/
You can also, as a CSUN faculty, staff or student, reach MedlinePlus when using PubMed at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?otool=cacsunlib
Look for the link to Consumer Health on the left column. In addition, depending upon the topic, you may also find links by viewing the full record and choose Links to Link Out to Medical as in the following example:
