It emits an offline WiFi hotspot that any WiFi capable device can connect to, and freely surf the tens-of-thousands of resources, no internet, data, login, or subscription required. Alongside SolarSPELL&#8217;s education and agriculture collections, the SolarSPELL Health library resources are designed to build digital and information literacy using a project-based approach that includes train-the-trainer training and impact evaluation. Since a library is never finished, SolarSPELL is always working to update and improve the resources on all of its collections, including regular evaluation of every resource in the health library to ensure that content is up to date with the most recent and locally-relevant evidence for healthcare workers and communities.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This class is worth 1.00 hour of MLA CE credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nnlm.gov\/training\/class\/r4-connections-solarspell-health-information-access-healthcare-workers-and\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Registration is required<\/a>.\u00a0Please note: You must be a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nnlm.gov\/user\/join\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NNLM member<\/a>\u00a0to register (it&#8217;s free!).
