Medicine and the Internet: Introducing Online Resources and Terminology

Most new Internet users find it difficult to locate what they want - or even to find out how to get started. Many end up buying a book on computers, another on modems, and yet another on the Internet, without locating exactly the information they need.

There are a number of Internet guides available. However, this book is different in that it deals specifically with the medical resources and bulletin boards, and it provides a foundation in the art of getting computers to talk to each other before even mentioning the Internet. Much of the book is presented in simple question and answer style. The doctor who would like to get involved, but has no understanding of what a modem is or does, or where to get the equipment, will find the answers in this book.

The book contains black-and-white illustrations.
