Tips for Searching the Net for Health News (US)
http://www.phillynews.com/inquirer/2000/Apr/24/magazine/WEBHEALTH24B.htm
Gathering health information on the World Wide Web can be as easy and
efficient as typing in a few search words. Or it can be frustrating,
confusing and time-consuming. Some places to look:
GOVERNMENT/NONPROFIT SITES
Most major sites allow you to search for terms within the site.
www.nih.gov National Institutes of Health
www.fda.gov Food and Drug Administration
www.cdc.gov Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
www.mayohealth.org Mayo Clinic www.americanheart.org American Heart
Association
SEARCH ENGINES
Typing key search words into any search engine, from Excite to Yahoo,
will find health information on the Web. For more comprehensive searches
that combine results from various popular search engines, some people
use "metasearch" engines. Among them are:
huskysearch.cs.washington.edu
http://huskysearch.cs.washington.edu/
New to me but didn't *excite* me with it's search results...
www.dogpile.com
www.metacrawler.com
WEB TUTORIALS
Among the sites that will give you detailed instructions on how to
search the Web are these:
www.learnthenet.com Learn the Net is a privately held company in San
Francisco that delivers educational products and services.
http://www.learnthenet.com/english/index.html
uses frames but, available in 5 languages, up to date, very good...
www.microsoft.com/insider/
The foregoing is a typically busy Microsoft Page and you have to
look to find the hyperlink to go to:
The Complete Internet Guide and Web Tutorial
http://www.microsoft.com/insider/internet/default.htm
This page takes forever to load unless you have hi-speed hardware...
internet Computer goliath Microsoft offers a "complete Internet guide
and Web tutorial."
