National Network of Libraries of Medicine Training Office: New Name for the NLM Training Center

[Editor's Note: This is a reprint of an NN/LM Training Office blog post.]

On May 1, 2016, the NLM Training Center's name changed to the National Network of Libraries of Medicine Training Office (NTO) to reflect our role in the new 5-year Cooperative Agreement with the US National Library of Medicine (NLM). You can view the announcement here: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/news/nlm-rml-coop-agreement-2016.html

Our headquarters remain at the University of Utah Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library, under the direction of Jean Shipman, Principal Investigator. Our current staff includes Jessi Van Der Volgen as the Assistant Director; Rebecca Brown and Cheryl Rowan as Training Development Specialists; Sarah Dickey, Program Manager; and Matt Steadman, Web Software Engineer & Media Developer.

The Cooperative Agreement ushers in a new era where the NTO will move the vast majority of its training online, collaborating with NLM and NN/LM to ensure broad access to continuing education designed to keep you up to date on NLM resources and maximize your contribution to your institutional missions. You can look forward to several new learning opportunities – available to you in flexible formats – on PubMed, TOXNET and other NLM resources. Stay tuned for announcements of future class offerings.

One of the most important pieces of news is that for the time being you can still find our blog and class offerings at the same URL: //nnlm.gov/ntc/.
