New Classes from the National Network of Libraries of Medicine
PubMed for Librarians is made up of six 90-minute segments. These six segments were presented via WebEx and recorded for archival access. Each segment is meant to be a stand-alone module designed for each user to determine how many and in what sequence they attend. The segments are designed to take 1.5 hours each. CE credit is available for viewing the recordings; visit https://nnlm.gov/nto/training/credit-recorded-classes for more details about CE credit.

Shout Out (n.) Informal. A message of congratulation, support, or appreciation.
Kathleen Lehman would like to give a shout out to everyone who helped with the pink dot project! Together, we have dotted approximately 165,000 items.  Particular shout out to the evening crew – Dennis Stephenson, Cole Davis, and Arlyn Brazell – and the weekend crew – Terry Wynn, Sara Watson, Michaela Bass, and Rock Capone – who ensured we had a strong finish and raced through the final stack of pink dot sheets.

Sustainability Tip of the Week
The theme for Earth Day 2018 is “End Plastic Pollution.” Learn, act, and engage in ending reliance on plastics this year. One way to start: refuse plastics (like straws or shopping bags) and seek out non-plastic alternatives to use instead.
