This online, self-paced course introduces librarians to the NLM drug and chemical information for consumers and healthcare professionals. Hands-on exercises show learners how to locate safety information, medication side effects, and drug-drug or drug-food interactions in MedlinePlus.gov and how to find FDA labeling in DailyMed.gov. Authentic problem-based scenarios offer focused practice for learners who assist library users with their prescription medication, over-the-counter drug, and dietary supplement information needs.
