Abstract

This paper reports qualitative research that investigated strategies for more effective delivery of information to support the health outcomes and community engagement of Australian men, a group who have poor health outcomes and high suicide rates.  Based on the research findings this paper will discuss the social justice imperative that Australian librarians enhance their commitment to the delivery of information in the world of the everyday.
