One of the great benefits the Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) offers, is free professional development including consumer health classes.

Classes come in a variety of formats including:

• On-demand online
• Scheduled asynchronous online
• Live webinars
• Live webinar series with guest speakers
• Special events

You will be prompted to create an NNLM User Account when registering for classes. This is not the same as being an organizational member. Creating a User Account will make registering for future classes and webinars easier but it also allows you to keep track of the classes you registered for.

Below are steps to creating a user account:

1.) Go to the NNLM website at https://nnlm.gov/

2.) In the upper right corner, click on Create an NNLM User Account (red box highlights this in image below)

An NNLM User Account form will appear.

3.) Fill in the required * sections of the form as well as optional sections you choose.

4.) Click on SUBMIT button.

 

If you created a User Account before May 1, 2021, you may need to reset your password.

1.) Click on Reset Your Password

2.) You should receive an email message asking you to click on a link to create a new password.

3.) Follow the steps provided to create a new password.
