Loads of resources from one “gateway?” Yes! Tune in for the next topic for Spotlight! on National Library of Medicine Resources. The Wednesday, Dec. 9 session one-hour webinar class will cover NLM Gateway, http://gateway.nlm.nih.gov/gw/Cmd presented by Dana Abbey.
Gateway is “One-stop shopping” for an increasing number of the information resources of the National Library of Medicine® (NLM). Gateway provides a single interface that searches in multiple retrieval systems. It is targeted to the Internet user who comes to NLM not knowing exactly what is available or how best to search for it. It is also a useful tool for those who wish to perform a comprehensive search on a subject.

Medication errors are a serious safety risk for limited English speakers and those who don’t read well. Highlighted as a costly and life-threatening problem by the Institute of Medicine, and detailed in many national journals, communication barriers compromise patients’ ability to understand and adhere to medication regimes. Join us as we learn about initiatives in three states to improve communication in pharmacies, from conversations with staff to medication labels and product information.
