Updated PubMed and Internet Grateful Med Training Manuals Available

Updated PubMed and Internet Grateful Med Training Manuals Available. NLM Technical Bulletin. 1999 Jan–Feb;(306):e1.

January 1999 [posted]

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.

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.

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: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/web_based.html.

Also, look at PubMed's online Help/FAQ located in the sidebar of PubMed's homepage. Both can also serve as excellent training tools
