The purpose of this project is to contribute significantly to the development of a LibGuide based in San Diego State University’s repository of LibGuides as part of a project by San Diego Circuit, an organization of San Diego libraries that is currently working to address the health misinformation crisis in San Diego County. I began this project by developing personal criteria for resource contributions, based on the HON (Health on the Net) code of information and other resources. I then used these criteria to contribute information and resources to the LibGuide’s basic health information sections and other sections, with a focus on addressing COVID-19 information such as vaccinations. The outcome of this project is a health information LibGuide for use across San Diego County.
