With so many features on the new NMC web site, this summer we are experimenting with some new screencasts designed to help our members learn to use the site.

In this first example, we show the steps that individuals from member organizations can do to create their own account on the site (in good web 2.0 spirit, it is self service!)

Sorry, the flash media seems to not available.

If you click the little icon on the bottom just left of the volume control, you can view this screencast in full screen mode.
