Subject: [HealthLiteracy] Welcome to the fully moderated Health Literacydiscussion list



> Hello Health Literacy discussion list members!

> 

> My name is Julie McKinney, and I am the new moderator of this now fully

> moderated list.  I am really excited to have the role of focusing on

> this list and finding ways to stimulate discussion about health

> literacy. Debbie has done a great job over the years, and I'm glad that

> she will still be around on the list.

> 

> A little about who I am... I have been involved with the National

> Institute for Literacy's LINCS program for the past several years as

> Coordinator of the Health & Literacy Special Collection website, so I

> am

> familiar with the discussion lists. 

> 

> I have been working at World Education for 9 years on a variety of

> health literacy projects, including the resource guide "Culture, Health

> and Literacy", for which this list was a great help in researching and

> promoting. I have also taught ESOL and coordinated special projects in

> the literacy and health fields.

> 

> As for the switch to fully moderated lists, I hope the transition is

> smooth, and that the new format does not interfere too much with the

> flow of discussion. I will check for and pass on postings at least

> twice

> a day, and usually more often. 

> 

> Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions or

> concerns about the list. And of course  pass on any ideas or questions

> for discussion. 

> 

> Sincerely,

> 

> Julie McKinney
