Many of you have probably already taken some of the classes offered by the Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) but some of you may be new to this information.
NNLM has offered and continues to offer an array of classes and webinars for your professional development and all for free. Many of these classes and webinars include Medical Library Association CE credits to put towards the Consumer Health Information Specialization (CHIS).
Almost all of the classes and webinars require registration which means you need to create a free account with NNLM. Note, this is not the same as NNLM membership for institutions. Creating an individual account does not include some of the perks offered to NNLM institutional members. It allows you to keep track of your class registrations and allows NNLM to send class and webinar reminders.
Select “Create New Account” which is at the bottom of every page of the NNLM website under the words NNLM Login.
Fill out the form and below are some extra tips regarding the important fields you will need to fill in:
Click on “Create new account.” After you have done this you will receive an email with instructions for creating a password. Your account approval is not immediate. It may take a few days before you receive a confirmation email. Check your Spam folder too.
It is important that you log on after you have completed creating your account to review your institution’s record.
Now you can receive notices of newly listed classes and webinars and register to attend.
