NLM Product Guides Available
The Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) is excited to announce that a series of NLM product guides are now available.

The product guides are intended primarily for people in instruction or training roles such as librarians, faculty leads, or mentor researchers. The guides provide instructors with examples and ideas for teaching people about NLM products. The description and key points sections offer a summary of the product and cover important highlights.
The popular uses, teaching, and real-life examples show different ways that people may use a product. This helps instructors tailor their training to different audiences and show how a product is relevant or useful in their field of work.

Instructors can use the teaching examples, alter them to better fit their audience, or incorporate them into larger training models.
