Welcome to the tutorial for MedlinePlus and Tox Town, consumer health
information sites created by the National Library of Medicine to answer
questions about health and the places we live. It takes about 25 minutes
to go through the tutorial. When you complete the training, your library
can register for the GHI icon that will bring users directly to this
site.
Navigating through the tutorial is easy. Just click the “next,”
“back,” or “start” buttons at the top and
bottom of each page. You can also use the “search tutorial by
topic” button to bring up an index linking to specific pages
in the tutorial.
There are three other ways to navigate at the top of each page: Good Health Information goes directly to the GHI
site. Good Health Information Tutorial takes you to the
tutorial’s home page, where you are right now. Explore MedlinePlus goes straight to the NLM site.
When you see images from MedlinePlus and Tox Town on the screen,
you can actually click on the links to find information that you want.
Just remember to come back and finish the tutorial by clicking the
“Next” button when you’re done looking something
up.
