| Title | Summary |
|---|---|
| An Introduction to ClinicalTrials.gov On Demand | ClinicalTrials.gov is the openly available federal registry and results database of publicly and privately funded clinical studies conducted in the United States and around the world. ClinicalTrials.gov is a vital resource for researchers, healthcare providers, patients and their families, and health sciences librarians who wish to consult the entire body of evidence on any particular topic. |
| Bioinformatics and Biology Essentials for Librarians: Databases, Tools, and Clinical Applications | This 14-week online class addresses increasing health information access and use by highlighting information about the National Library of Medicine’s NCBI Molecular Biology Databases. |
| Building Reference Skills for Nursing and Allied Health Research | This 3 week, 4 credit-hour self-paced online class is designed for library staff who support, or want to support, nursing and allied health professionals with NLM resources. This class provides an introduction to the professions of nursing and allied health, and explores NLM databases used by health professionals such as PubMed, LactMed, MedlinePlus and DailyMed. The class concludes with learners developing their own plan on how to use this information in their work. Expect to spend about 4 hours learning in this class. Agenda |
| ClinicalTrials.gov for Librarians | This 90-minute webinar demonstrates the ClinicalTrials.gov interface and explains how health sciences librarians can advocate to clinical researchers the importance of complying with the results submission requirements mandated by federal law. |
| Common Data Elements: Standardizing Data Collection | Making data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) starts well before data collection. Designing studies with common data elements (CDEs) can enable data sharing and reuse, and librarians and other information professionals can assist researchers in the use of CDEs. Whether you are a research data librarian or assist researchers in finding sources, this one-hour, self-paced course from the National Library of Medicine can help you understand how you can support the use of common data elements (CDEs) in cr |
| Consumer Health Collection Management On-demand | This 2 credit-hour, on-demand class reviews collection management principles and resources for health-related collections in public libraries. |
| Consumer Health Information Specialization On-Demand | Earn up to 8 continuing education credit hours towards the Consumer Health Information Specialization (CHIS) from the Medical Library Association. This class is designed for learners interested in providing consumer health information to their community, with a focus on libraries and information centers. |
| Creating Data Management Plans with the DMPTool | The DMPTool is a free tool that walks users through creating comprehensive data management plans. This webinar will guide attendees through data management plan basics, creating a DMPTool profile, and exploring available templates and planning resources. The DMPTool is a great resource for building data management plans for grant applications, especially considering that starting in January 2023 the NIH will require funded researchers to submit a plan outlining how scientific data from their research will be managed and shared. |
| Data for Everyone | This class will be an introduction to learning about data. If you have any interest in learning about data but do not know where to start, this class is a great entry point to and foundation for classes currently offered in data management, data science, data services, and statistics. Topics will include a review of data terminologies, data types, and the basic concepts involved in working with a spreadsheet. Additionally, the class will encourage students to explore further NNLM learning opportunities for working with data. |
| Data Management Sharing Policy (DMSP) Webinar Recordings On-demand | The webinar series introduces the basics of data management and the new requirements for data management and sharing that will be in place beginning in 2023. The introduction will then be followed by three webinars providing “practitioner perspectives” – i.e., data librarians sharing their opportunities, barriers, methods, and successes as they work toward improving data management practices at their institutions. |
| Data Services On-Demand | Data Services On-Demand is a modular learning experience that works for you. Each module is self-contained and offers MLA CE hours as well as credit toward Data Services Specialization (DSS). The modules are: |
| Drive Thru Data: Using NLM APIs to Access Information Fast | The National Library of Medicine (NLM) provides millions of people access to health information via its portfolio of products and services. But some people may need to access NLM’s resources in special ways, to help support new and innovative projects. Application programming interfaces (APIs) can help you access NLM’s data more quickly and efficiently, especially when integrated into a program or script. |
