Online tutorials
To help you get the most value from our website we have created two short tutorials on using the National Documentation Centre on Drug Use (NDC), Ireland’s drugs library. Each video is about five or six minutes long and is divided into separate sections for easy navigation. A text version of each is also available. On the NDC home page (www.drugsandalcohol.ie) click on TUTORIALS on the orange toolbar to get to the videos:
