Abstrakt: In support of its institutional mission of community service, the Medical College of Wisconsin created a digital library of health information. This Internet-based resource, named MCW HealthLink, provides health news and information geared to patients, their family members, and the community at large. Information is delivered through a World Wide Web site and an e-mail newsletter. The web and e-mail components are integrated to maximize their utility to readers. This article describes the philosophy, design and implementation of the resource. Ongoing efforts include development of a health information resource tailored to the needs of individual readers.
