Have you ever googled your symptoms? If you have, you were probably overwhelmed by a large amount of results from many different websites. How do you know which information is reliable and which is not?

Don't google your symptoms! Use our Complete Guide to Symptoms, Illness & Surgery, located in our Consumer Health Reference area on the 2nd floor of the Main Library. It is an easy-to-read medical reference guide. Use this as a starting point to research 2,000 symptoms, 550 illness and disorders, 180 surgeries, and 125 resources for specific health issues.

This book is a supplement to the information received from your health care provider.

If you can't make it to the library, the internet does offer reliable and up-to-date health information. You just need to know which websites to trust. Read our Health Literacy blog post for more information.
