Internet 101:
An Overview of Internet Resources and Functionality
Noam H. Arzt, Ph.D.
Several purposes to Internet-based information in this context:
- collaboration in research or clinical setting
- professional memberships/participation and continuing education
- publishing
Keep these themes in mind as you "surf" . . .
Conclusion
- Great strength in many of these tools, especially WWW, is that you do not need to know (or care) where you need to go to get information - just follow the path. Given the fragility of the Internet in many instances, this is also a great weakness
- Biggest problem is probably quality of information
