|
|
Full-day class<br />
|
|
7.5 Medical Library Association (MLA) continuing education credits<br />
|
|
Cost: free<br /><br />
|
|
This class is designed to teach students how to use <a href="http://www.pubmed.gov">PubMed</a> which includes MEDLINE citations. It also includes an overview of the Medical Subject
|
|
Headings<sup>®</sup> (MeSH<sup>®</sup>) and its importance as a tool to both searchers and indexers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|

<strong>NLM Training: NLM Gateway & ClinicalTrials.gov</strong><br />
|
|
Half-day class<br />
|
|
3.5 MLA continuing education credits<br />
|
|
Cost: free<br /><br />
|
|
This class is designed to teach students how to use the <a href="http://gateway.nlm.nih.gov/gw/Cmd">NLM Gateway</a>. The NLM Gateway is a
|
|
Web-based system that allows users to search simultaneously in multiple NLM retrieval systems. This class also includes a discussion and demonstration
|
|
of <a href="http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/">ClinicalTrials.gov</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>NLM Training: TOXNET<sup>®</sup></strong><br />
|
|
Full-day class<br />
|
|
6 MLA continuing education credits<br />
|
|
Cost: free<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
This class is designed to convey the basics of searching the NLM's <a href="http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/">TOXNET</a>, a Web-based system of
|
|
databases in the areas of toxicology, environmental health, and related subjects. Students learn the content and structure of files covering toxicology data,
|
|
toxicology literature, toxic releases, and chemical searching and nomenclature. Among the databases highlighted are TOXLINE<sup>®</sup>, the Hazardous Substances
|
|
Data Bank (HSDB<sup>®</sup>), the Integrated Risk Information System, the Toxic Release Inventory, and ChemIDplus<sup>®</sup>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>UMLS<sup>®</sup> Basics</strong><br />
|
|
Full-day class<br />
|
|
7.5 MLA continuing education credits<br />
|
|
Cost: free<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
This class introduces NLM's Unified Medical Language System<sup>®</sup> (UMLS): what it is and how it is used. Students gain an understanding of the
|
|
three UMLS Knowledge Sources: the Metathesaurus, the Semantic Network, and the SPECIALIST Lexicon-what these are, and how this
|
|
collection of tools and resources enable systems to link biomedical information from difference sources. A broad overview of over 100 source
|
|
vocabularies contained in the Metathesaurus, including U.S. clinical and administrative standards, is provided. Criteria for assessing the usefulness
|
|
of specific controlled vocabularies are discussed. The online UMLS Knowledge Source Server (UMLSKS) is used to access UMLS data throughout
|
|
the class. Hands-on exercises allow students to practice basic and advanced searching skills. Students work with the MetamorphoSys software and learn
|
|
how it is used to install the UMLS Knowledge Sources, and to produce customized local versions of the Metathesaurus. The intended audience is
|
|
medical librarians interested in medical informatics, who desire an introduction to the UMLS and to some of the issues and practical considerations
|
|
involved in selecting and using controlled vocabularies in a broad range of biomedical applications.

|
<strong>NCBI's Introduction to Molecular Biology Information Resources</strong><br />
|
|
Three-day course<br />
|
|
20 MLA continuing education credits<br />
|
|
Cost: free<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
This course provides an introduction to four domains of information generated by the field of molecular biology: nucleotide sequences,
|
|
protein sequences, three-dimensional structures, and complete genomes and maps. An overview of the flagship search systems and databases
|
|
available at the National Center for Biotechnology Information emphasizes how current search skills apply to molecular biology databases.
|
|
A tour of advanced Entrez search features illustrates techniques for effective and efficient retrieval of molecular data and will help address
|
|
some common user needs. The course also introduces more technical search systems, including BLAST, Map Viewer, and the Cn3D viewer for
|
|
three-dimensional protein structures. The course format combines lecture, demonstration, and hands-on experience, and concludes with a discussion
|
|
of various levels of molecular biology information services provided by librarians.

<strong>How to Apply</strong><br />
|
|
View the training class schedule and register online for classes at the National Training Center & Clearinghouse (NTCC) Web site
|
|
at <a href="http://nnlm.gov/ntcc/index.html">http://nnlm.gov/ntcc/index.html</a>.
|
|
Every attempt will be made to place training applicants in the class requested. If a class is filled, applicants will be registered for their second
|
|
choice and will also automatically be placed on the wait list for their first choice. Please note that all classes are considered "tentative," pending
|
|
the required minimum enrollment being met one month before the class.
|
|
Approximately one month prior to the class, registrants will receive information on hotels and local site arrangements. Information on location
|
|
of training sites and links to many of the sites' Web pages are available from the NTCC <a href="http://nnlm.gov/ntcc/index.html">Web
|
|
site</a>.

|
|
<strong>Each Person Makes a Difference</strong><br />
|
|
Our classes are in demand and usually fill rapidly, often creating a waiting list. In order to help us provide training opportunities to as
|
|
many people as possible, please notify the NTCC office if you have registered for a class and your plans change. The more advance notice
|
|
you give us, the more likely it is that someone else can take the available space. It is very disappointing to begin a class with empty chairs that could
|
|
have been occupied. We are asking for your cooperation to help allow as many people as possible to benefit from this free training program.
