## Abstract

Abstract: 
The aims of the NN/LM Training Office at the University of Utah are: 
 1) To deliver high-quality, innovative training to diverse audiences nationwide in support of 
 the effective use of NLM information products and services, and 
 2) To ensure efficient and effective development, delivery, and sharing of NN/LM learning 
 materials and training activities. 
 In order to accomplish these aims, the NTO will collaborate with NLM and NN/LM to create 
 training for NLM resources that employs adult learning principles, mastery learning, self- 
 directed learning paths, and appropriate technologies. The NTO will develop and deliver 
 training on PubMed, environmental health resources, and NCBI databases. By bringing the 
 vast majority of our training online, the NTO will ensure broad access to professional 
 development resources and contribute to increasing the knowledge and skills of a variety of 
 audiences throughout the country. The NTO will also provide guidance to NN/LM instructors 
 on the development of training for consumer health resources and other relevant topics. 
 Through collaboration with NN/LM and development of a learning objects repository, the 
 NTO will work to streamline class development procedures and facilitate the discovery and 
 reuse of training materials. In addition to ensuring that all classes have an appropriate 
 evaluation plan, the NTO will conduct an evaluation of the NN/LM educational program to 
 assess overall effectiveness and identify gaps. NTO staff will monitor, disseminate, and 
 incorporate new information and trends related to e-learning, adult education and 
 instructional design to improve NN/LM training and support U.S. health information 
 professionals. We will partner with NN/LM and other key organizations to market and 
 promote professional development opportunities to our national audience.
