treacher collins syndrome practice question

In class today, we had a practice question that was a request submitted via email to a public library. It read: Hi - I just need one thing but I need proof of it so maybe you could photocopy a page from a book and mail it to me or something. I need basic information on Treacher Collins syndrome. If possible, I'd like the genetic profile, signs, diagnosis, and prognosis. I'm looking for something concise- not too much to read at once. Thank you very much for your assistance, Margaret Wilson."

I did a subject search within health and medicine. Going down through the lines, Treacher Collins Syndrome was an option, so I checked out what they had available. This website seemed pretty helpful, to provide lots of different avenues of information concisely without going into overload. It can give her support groups, and the information she asked, as well as concise personal websites of people who have Treacher Collins. I also trust this website because it's produced by the Genetic Education Center at the University of Kansas' Medical Center. I was really curious as to her information need details, but as always, had to put that aside. Because of this, I loved the information Dr. Westbrook was telling us about the differences between Monitoring and Blunting, the process in which an information seeker goes from seeking more and more information until saturation and overload is reached, at which point the information seeker needs things to be simplified and concise. That makes so much sense. I love putting abstract names to things we all know but don't call a name.
