The American Dietetic Association recently launched their second site, this one for members only. Growing in popularity in Internet sites is the 'hyperlink'. The hyperlink gives an Internet address to another site that the visitor may want to visit also for related information. For example, CD-HCF site has hyperlinks to all of their alliance organizations. All the visit need do is double click on the hyperlink line and immediately the connection to that site takes place.
Hyperlinks speed up further the search for information.
The growth of the Internet as a source of information and products has been astounding in the last five years. RD's too have a presence on the Internet by contributing information to food and nutrition related sites. Many RD's are taking advantage of this venue for creating e-based practices. There are so many nutrition information sites on the Internet that Tufts University has an Internet site, which offers ratings, and descriptions of nutrition related sites for consumer, professional, and the journalist. The personal computer offers the dietitian tools to accomplish tasks in new and exciting ways.
