Using Web Sites with News Updates to Stay Informed
Saving Time with Your Web Browser
Use web browser bookmarks or favorites to store the addresses of web sites you will visit frequently. Organize those bookmarks into folders. Periodically review your bookmarks to remove web sites that are no longer relevant to your area(s) of interest.
There are so many web sites that have content relevant to the public health workforce that it might be difficult to keep track of everything. A specific strategy that might be helpful is to utilize web sites that have news updates or continuous news feeds related to your areas of interest within public health.
You can add these sites to your browser bookmarks or favorites. You could even make one of these sites your default home page so you see it when you start up your web browser. There may also be discipline or specialty-specific web sites with news sections geared to your professional interests.
Take some time to explore the selected web sites with news components related to public health and evaluate their relevance to your interest.
