<h3><a name = "aids">AIDSLINE Satellite Teleconference</a></h3>
<p>
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Library of Medicine, and the National Network of Libraries of Medicine have partnered to address the issues of awareness of electronic information and Internet connections for public health workers. This partnership will produce a teleconference "Accessing HIV/AIDS Information Resources" (A Public Health Training Network Satellite Broadcast) on Thursday, February 11, 1999, 1:00 - 3:00 ET. This live, interactive satellite broadcast will provide an overview of HIV/AIDS-related resources that are currently available electronically.

<h3><a name = "train">Updated PubMed and Internet Grateful Med Training Manuals Available</a></h3>
<p>
The January 1999 edition of the updated PubMed and Internet Grateful Med (IGM) training manuals are now available for downloading from the National Library of Medicine's (NLM) Web site. Some new material has been introduced and there has been some minor reorganization within the workbook.
</p>
<p>
The workbooks, used in the two NLM/National Online Training Center PubMed/IGM classes (2-day Introduction class and the 1-day Transition class), are available in three formats: PDF, WordPerfect, and PostScript. Because of a computer program incompatibility, some of the graphics in the PDF files are slightly out of focus. This problem is being resolved but will require additional staff time. Stay tuned.
</p>
<p>
These workbooks are not copyrighted. Feel free to use any part of the workbooks -- you may customize parts for training programs, demos, or workshops you conduct. Or you may use the workbooks as a self-training guide if you can't get to a class or your scheduled class is several months away. The workbooks are found at: <a href = "http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/web_based.html">http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/web_based.html</a>.
</p>
<p>
Also, look at PubMed's online Help/FAQ located in the sidebar of PubMed's homepage. Both can also serve as excellent training tools.

<h3><a name = "correct">Correction to the September-October 1998 <em>NLM Technical Bulletin</em> titled AVLINE&#174; and CATLINE&#174; Data To Be Removed from Other NLM Databases</a></h3>
<p>
The article titled AVLINE and CATLINE Data To Be Removed from Other NLM Databases (<a href = "http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/so98/so98_avcat.html">http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/so98/so98_avcat.html</a>) as published in the September-October 1998 <em>NLM Technical Bulletin</em> contained the following omission:
</p>
<p>
The last sentence in the <strong>HealthSTAR</strong> paragraph stated: Monograph data from sources other than CATLINE, identified by the values HTM and HTA in the Secondary Source
Identifier (SI) field, will still be present in HealthSTAR.
</p>
<p>
It should read: Monograph data from sources other than CATLINE, identified by the values HTM, HTA, and HTX in the Secondary Source Identifier (SI) field, will still be present in HealthSTAR.
</p>
<p>
This correction has already been made to this article on the Web.
