[Libs-Or] Toxnet and Beyond class at OHSU

[Dolores Judkins]

Hello all.  Trainers from the National Library of Medicine will be in Portland to teach the Toxnet and Beyond class at OHSU on Friday, June 22.  This class is particularly good for science librarians and anyone who is involved with toxicology and environmental health.

This course is designed to convey the basics of searching the NLM's TOXNET®, a Web-based system of databases in the areas of toxicology, environmental health, and related fields. The course will also teach students how to utilize NLM's environmental health and toxicology portal which provides resources beyond the TOXNET® databases. Students will learn the content and structure of files covering toxicology data, toxicology literature, toxic releases, and chemical nomenclature. Among the databases highlighted will be TOXLINE, the Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB), the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS), the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI), and ChemIDplus. The course, taught by NLM instructors, will be conducted in a computer lab and includes lectures, online demonstrations, and hands-on exercises.

There are still spaces available.  You can register at http://nnlm.gov/ntcc/classes/class_details.html?class_id=5
