| Annotation | The World Wide Web (WWW) has much to offer all those concerned with gerontology, including patients and their relatives. This article reviews the history and the structure of the Internet, outlines the basics of how to use it, and what is available for the gerontologist. Given the changing nature of the WWW, a comprehensive list of all known web pages cannot be provided. Instead, this article offers a background knowledge and introduction to the types of resources that are available: societies and agencies; on-line journals and research papers; disease-specific sites; and consumer sites. This will enable more productive use of the WWW for finding information on gerontology. (RH). |
