Training on TEHIP Web Resources The National Library of Medicine offers a one-day class on NLM's Toxicology and Environmental Health Information Program (TEHIP) web resources. The course includes the basics of searching TOXNET, a web-based system of databases in the areas of toxicology, environmental health, and related subjects. Students will learn the content and structure of the databases covering toxicology data, toxicology and environmental health literature, toxic releases, and chemical structures and 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. In addition, students will be introduced to other TEHIP web resources including Haz-Map, an occupational health database, Alt-Bib, a searchable bibliography on the Alternatives to Animal Testing, and Tox Town, an interactive guide to common toxic substances. All modules are considered "tentative" pending sufficient enrollment one month before class. There is no charge for this class.
