 == Background & Context ==
-In early 2009, a school librarian in the Mini-Medical School[http://minimed.wustl.edu/] event at Washington University suggested Becker Library should consider training K-12 librarians how to find credible health information.
+In early 2009, a school librarian in the [http://minimed.wustl.edu Mini-Medical School] event at Washington University suggested Becker Library should consider training K-12 librarians how to find credible health information.
 School librarians are often the only information contacts in their buildings. They can spend disproportionate amounts of time supporting writing-intensive classes, leaving little time to provide quality support for health, science or math classes.  Their training and certification process may not include any exposure to searching for credible health information.
-Becker Library is fortunate to have a former school librarian on staff, located at the Family Resource Center[http://www.stlouischildrens.org/content/FamilyResourceCenter.htm] at St. Louis Children's Hospital.  After brainstorming with her, and 6 months of work, Becker Library and 3 other community allies hosted a pilot version of the MoSHI class in October 2009.  The course was a success, and school districts made requests to deliver it during librarian meetings.  Such outreach is not funded as part of Becker Library's base budget, and one of the librarians in the pilot works part-time.

-To meet the incoming requests, we applied for and received a Continuity of Health Information Award from the MidContinental Region[http://nnlm.gov/mcr], and renamed the pilot effort MoSHI.
