Learn how to find articles about a chemical or drug of interest. This hour-long online clinic covered how the NLM MeSH® vocabulary is used to describe substance concepts and how to search PubMed for relevant articles.
Take a look at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/disted/clinics/chem.html. This has been recommended by a MAHSLIN member.
