This 1 credit hour on-demand course will cover differences between prescription and over the counter medications, data regarding use in the United States, and three free resources from the National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health: the NIDA website, DailyMed and LactMed.  The course includes a recorded presentation, demos of the resources, and guided exercises to try the resources hands-on. 

This webinar addresses increasing health information access and use by highlighting information from National Library of Medicine’s MedlinePlus health information resource for patients and their families and friends, resources from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health and other freely available resources.

This self-paced PubChem tutorial guides you through how to access chemical property and structure data that hundreds of academic, government and industrial sources contribute to PubChem.  It includes step-by-step directions for how to find chemical information using chemical names, identifiers, molecular formulas, gene symbols, proteins, pathways, taxonomies, and structures. It also shows you how to use the rich connections between PubChem and other resources (like PubMed) to explore chemical information further, and how to download chemistry data from PubChem.

The NNLM Region 1 invites you to attend its first unconference! An unconference is a participant-oriented event where attendees structure the interactions, emphasizing conversations over formal presentations. The emphasis is on interaction between attendees and the discussions which emerge when participants are given an opportunity to engage with each other on topics of interest

Evidence shows that there are marked health disparities between those living in rural areas versus their urban counterparts. This presentation addresses health information resources and data, increasing health information access and use and the NNLM initiative of Bridging the Digital Divide by demonstrating how to find information on health conditions, demographic groups and social issues in MedlinePlus.gov, Rural Health Information Hub, and USDA Economic Research Service.

Do you want to standardize the data you collect so it can be easily shared with colleagues and other researchers? Have you been awarded a grant that requires the use of common data elements? Do you assist researchers with the data research management lifecycle? If any of these scenarios sound familiar, this course is for you!

This interactive, on-demand course is intended to introduce researchers and librarians to common data elements (CDEs) and how to use the NIH Common Data Element Repository. 

This course is designed as an entry point for people unfamiliar with the field of research data services in libraries. The goal is to introduce what data services librarians work on and to present information on how learners can grow in this area. This includes mentioning other trainings offered by NNLM that would further their studies in data services. Learners will be able to describe the type of work done in data services and the subtopics found in data services.

PubMed maps your search terms to Medical Subject Headings (MeSH®) to augment your search with additional terms from the vocabulary that NLM uses to describe articles in MEDLINE®/PubMed. Take this course to better understand how PubMed uses MeSH and how you can take control of your PubMed topic searches for better precision or recall.

This webinar series provides attendees with current information on data sharing requirements and best practices as it relates to biomedical research. Participants will be able to stay current on recent trends and resources through the various webinars.

This free virtual forum on disaster planning and preparedness occurs in September and features expert speakers presenting on data tools and resources, disaster planning communication, and institutional preparedness with a focus on greater inclusiveness and community resilience. Disasters may include weather events, pandemic, violence (mass shooter, violent protests), accidents (train derailment, building collapse, etc.), earthquake, explosion or any other event that may be sudden, unexpected and poses dangers to life and property.
