Join the NLM Training Center for a New Online TOXNET Class

Would you like to learn more about the environmental health resources available from the National Library of Medicine?  Join the NLM Training Center (NTC) from March 3-25 for Module 2 of the new online class, called “Discovering TOXNET:  From Paracelsus to Nanotechnology.” TOXNET is a web-based system of databases covering hazardous chemicals, environmental health, and toxic releases. Module 2 covers the following resources:  Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB), Household Products Database (HPDB), Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS), LiverTOX, Toxics Release Inventory (TRI), TOXMAP®, and Haz-Map. Note:  modules are independent of each other; you do NOT need to complete Module 1 before taking Module 2.   You’ll learn about the resources through videos, guided tutorials, discovery exercises, and solving real-life reference questions. The class will be taught online asynchronously and synchronously.  For a complete description visit the NTC Class Description web site Enrollment is limited, so register soon!  /ch
