The National Training Center and Clearinghouse (NTCC) under NLM contract NO1-LM-1-3521 sponsors more than 40 classroom sessions across the country each year. The NTCC, located at the New York Academy of Medicine in New York City, is responsible for the training of health information professionals, health professionals, and members of the general public on the searching capabilities of a variety of National Library of Medicine databases. The following list is the current schedule with sites, dates, and a link to register for each class.
Additional educational resources from the eight Regional Medical Library Programs and other institutions may be found within the NTCC Educational Clearinghouse.

Print and bring your workbook to class.
Beginning May 1, 2009 a new workbook policy will be implemented. Due to the continuing rise in printing and shipping costs, the National Training Center and Clearinghouse (NTCC) will NO longer provide workbooks for class participants.
It will be the responsibility of each registered class participant to produce and bring the various workbooks to the classes for which he/she is registered.
Classes held at the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, MD are not included in this new policy.
Participants may download and print out the workbooks from the NIH website.
The PubMed® and NLM Gateway/ClnicalTrials.gov workbooks are available in two formats: Microsoft Word and PDF (Adobe Acrobat).
The TOXNET® and Beyond workbook is available in one format: PDF (Adobe Acrobat).
The Adobe Acrobat reader is freely available for download from Adobe's website.
For your information: Classes will be cancelled if minimum registration is not met six weeks prior to the class dates. Minimum registration is 12-15 confirmed registrants.
If the class you wish to register for is marked "Wait List," you may still register for that class with the understanding that you will be placed on a waiting list with no guarantee that you will actually be able to attend. The waiting list will be prepared on a "first come" basis.
