The Network of the National Library of Medicine Training Office (NTO) supports the training and educational missions of the Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM). We aim to deliver high-quality, innovative training to diverse audiences nationwide in support of the effective use of NLM information products and services.
NTO is guided by three core principles in service of our aims:
- respect and value the adult learning needs of our constituents;
- develop our collaborative partnerships with NLM, NNLM and other relevant collaborators; and
- incorporate evaluative thinking in all of our activities to regularly improve classes and educational programs.
