SolarSPELL Health: Information Access for Healthcare Workers and Communities Around the World
Date and Time: Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. MT
Description: The SolarSPELL digital library was designed to meet information needs and build information literacy skills in communities globally that may be considered "information deserts." The Solar Powered Educational Learning Library (SolarSPELL) is an ultra-portable, rugged, open-access digital library that is localized with and for those who use it around the world. It emits an offline WiFi hotspot that any WiFi capable device can connect to, and freely surf the tens-of-thousands of resources, no internet, data, login, or subscription required. Alongside SolarSPELL's education and agriculture collections, the SolarSPELL Health library resources are designed to build digital and information literacy using a project-based approach that includes train-the-trainer training and impact evaluation. Since a library is never finished, SolarSPELL is always working to update and improve the resources on all of its collections, including regular evaluation of every resource in the health library to ensure that content is up to date with the most recent and locally-relevant evidence for healthcare workers and communities.
Guest Speakers: Dr. Laura Hosman and Dr. Heather Ross
Registration will be opening soon. Recordings of past sessions are available on our YouTube playlist.
