Hot Topics: Public Health and Toxicology: Using National Library of Medicine Resources to Learn and Inform

In the June Hot Topics session, Gail Kouame, Consumer Health Coordinator for the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Pacific Northwest Region, will demonstrate some of the National Library of Medicine's toxicology and environmental health resources that are relevant to public health responders. The Hazardous Substances Data Bank, the Radiation Event Medical Management site, and ToxMap are just a few examples of sites that will be covered. Some of these sites are also available for mobile devices. Ms. Kouame will also describe librarians' possible roles in disaster preparation and response.
