NLM Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The National Library of Medicine® (NLM) responds to more than 100,000 questions each year. Users answer many more questions themselves by searching our Web site.  They read one or more of our answers to our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). You can find our FAQs at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/services/faq.html. They include suggestions for research assistance, help with and training materials for PubMed®, consumer health resources, and information about the History of Medicine, ClinicalTrials.gov, NLM Grants and Funding, and gene sequencing databases.

Questions that the FAQs can answer include:

• How can I identify a pill?
