<p>
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, 2014 for Module 2 of the new online class, called "Discovering TOXNET: From Paracelsus to Nanotechnology."
</p>
<p>
<a href="http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/">TOXNET</a> is a Web-based system of databases covering hazardous chemicals, environmental health, and toxic releases. Module 2 covers the following resources:</p>

<li>Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS)</li>
<li>LiverTOX</li>
<li>Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)</li>
<li>TOXMAP</li>
<li>Haz-Map</li>
</ul>
<p>
Note: <strong>modules are independent of each other; you do NOT need to complete Module 1 before taking Module 2.</strong> (Module 1 will be offered again at a later date). You'll learn about the resources through videos, guided tutorials, discovery exercises, and solving real-life reference questions.
