This report provides information on consumer health pilot projects completed in 1983 by two New York state public library systems, the Nioga Library System and the Onondaga County Public Library. Serving as a "how-to" guide, the report explores the rise of the public's interest in consumer health issues. Both projects explain how they established within their library system a thorough health education series through the use of books, pamphlets, 16mm films, sound filmstrips, videotapes, and audio cassettes. Resources are listed. (BA)
