NLM API Showcase: Using NLM APIs for Product Development
Software developers can learn how to tap into free data covering drugs, medical literature, clinical trials, consumer health information, molecular biology and much more during a webinar April 10, 2012 from 2 p.m.-3:30 p.m. (ET). The free webinar is sponsored by the National Library of Medicine (NLM), part of the National Institutes of Health.

The NLM API Showcase webinar will give developers the opportunity to connect with NLM data experts who will highlight successful uses of the Library's APIs and explain how to find, use and incorporate NLM data into novel products.

NLM is the world's largest medical library and the developer of groundbreaking electronic information resources. For more than 40 years, the Library has been making the data compiled for those resources available for others to use to develop new tools, products, and services.

There are several options for participating in the webinar:
