The goal of the NNLM is to advance the progress of medicine and improve public health by providing U.S. health professionals with equal access to biomedical information and improving individuals' access to information to enable them to make informed decisions about their health. NNLM offers a variety of free online, on-demand and in-person training opportunities to support professional development and continuing education for librarians, educators, and health professionals. Many of the NNLM’s data resources, including the Data Services On-Demand course, are practical in scope and not specific to medical librarians; anyone with an interest in research data management and library data services can participate in NNLM and NCDS trainings. •NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy Toolkit <https://www.nnlm.gov/guides/nnlm-toolkitnih-data-management-and-sharing-policy> •NNLM Data Glossary <https://www.nnlm.gov/guides/data-glossary> •NNLM Data Repository Finder <https://www.nnlm.gov/finder> •On-Demand Training and Live Classes <https://www.nnlm.gov/training> •Sponsorship of the MLA’s Data Services Specialization (DSS) <https://www.nnlm.gov/guides/dataservices-specialization> •NCDS Data Internship <https://www.nnlm.gov/about/centers/ncds/ internship> Course Description: Data Services On Demand (DSOD) is a modular learning course that works for you.
