Keeping up with enhancements and the increasing diversity of NCBI molecular biology resources can be challenging. To help scientists meet this challenge, the NCBI service desk provides a free training course, A Field Guide to GenBank and NCBI Resources. All researchers, educators and students will find the Field Guide to be a useful introduction and survey of the available NCBI tools and databases, even experienced NCBI users will learn something new and useful. More ...

NCBI also provides focused bioinformatics mini-courses for researchers, teachers, and college students. NCBI mini-courses are either problem-based such as "Identification of Disease Genes" or NCBI resource-based such as "BLAST Quick Start". The courses are 2 hours in length with the first hour devoted to an overview that is followed by a one hour hands-on session.

Librarians interested in learning an overview of search systems available at NCBI can attend the three-day Introduction to Molecular Biology and Information Resources course. This course reviews many NCBI services and search systems by combining lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on experience.
