The class concludes with learners developing their own plan on how to use this information in their work.  Expect to spend about 4 hours learning in this class.

  • Research literature uses PubMed
  • Consumer health questions uses MedlinePlus
  • Drug information uses DailyMed, MedlinePlus Drugs, LactMed

2. Reflect upon how they can improve library services to nursing and allied health professionals in their particular work environment.
