<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333">The National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NNLM) is recruiting public library staff to participate in the free online training, "<a href="https://nnlm.gov/classes/stand-health-health-and-wellness-services-your-community"><span style="color:#5A458D">Stand
Up for Health: Health and Wellness Services for Your Community</span></a>." This is a 4-week, online, asynchronous (all self-paced) course where participants will earn 12 continuing education (CE) credits and a certificate. The course is designed to provide
public library staff with core competencies of providing health information services and the essential skills and knowledge that library staff need to build those competencies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.75pt;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333">The course content includes:<br>
Week 1: Introduction to Consumer Health<br>
Week 2: Health Reference<br>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333">The course will begin March 5, 2018, with new content released each Monday. Plan to spend about 3 hours on coursework each week between March 5 and April 1. One additional week
will be provided to catch up on assignments if needed. However, because each week involves online discussion with your peers, it is important to keep up with the weekly topics and not attempt to catch up at the end.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
