PubMed & ORCID: Create, link and share your bibliography
In this webinar, NCBI staff will talk about the advantage of quickly registering for a free, unique identifier that will remain constant – even if your name changes.

Learn how.
Date & time: Wednesday, October 4, 2017 10-10:30 MT, 11-11:30 CT

Coordinator Retiring
One of the stalwarts of the NNLM MCR is retiring. Who am I referring to? See if you can guess. She started in 2003 as our Network Membership Liaison and led a pilot on consortium licensing. We decided that there was a more crucial issue for her to tackle and she began our efforts in supporting and teaching members how to advocate for themselves. She developed tools for them to use such as the value calculators and the toolkit for hospital librarians. Her “Whooo Says” column has provided advice for over 9 years on topics including networking, employing business skills, learning the organization, and fantasy football. Sh...

What is a Clinical Trial?
The Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act (FDAAA) of 2007 clarified requirements for clinical trials including submission to ClinicalTrials.gov.

Within the research community there is again questions about the definition of a clinical trial. To meet the NIH criteria for a clinical trial the answer to all four questions below must be “yes.”
Does the study involve human participants?
