Project Summary The Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library at the University of Utah, as the Network of the National Library of Medicine Training Office (NTO), will implement a 5-year grant to coordinate a national education program that reliably delivers training for key NLM products and services. As a coordinator of a national program, the NTO draws on the expertise of its personnel, strong track record of collaboration and growth, and innovative methodology to expand the reach and impact of the NNLM through an education program that is responsive to the needs of librarians, health professionals, the public health workforce, and consumers. The NTO will lead the NNLM in the development and delivery of core curricula to support a highly-trained workforce in biomedical and health information resources and data. NTO will also ensure a standard of high- quality instruction and content through training and development of NNLM staff, class development and support services, and evidence-based standards for accurate, current and accessible learning experiences. Through collaboration with NWSO, NTO will improve access and findability of NNLM-generated education objects to support NNLM members and others with open resources for reuse and distribution, enhancing the reach of these products. NTO will cooperate with the NNLM Evaluation Center, RMLs, Offices, and Centers to evaluate the effectiveness of the national training program and make regular improvements. EHSL is the only library in the country to be awarded the contract for the NNLM Training Office (NTO) and is well-known across the RMLs for planning, creating, sharing, delivering, coordinating, and evaluating an instructional program and educational materials based on key NLM products and services for a variety of audiences. Continuation of the NTO at the University of Utah means that the NTO will have the full support of University of Utah's Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence and Teaching and Learning Technologies, allowing the NTO to use resources created at the University for NNLM purposes, with appropriate attribution.
