Web sites can provide useful sources of information, but if they are slow to load, difficult to navigate and read, then their contributions will be lost. Caution should be used, however, since a Web site with an award or high rating does not guarantee the accuracy and currency of the information found on it. Always use your own judgement. An example is the Health on the Net Foundation which has set out an eight-point list of principles called the HONcode . Web sites that ascribe to the principles can display the HONcode logo, and are searchable with the MedHunt search engine.
Few journals allow free access to the full text of their articles.
The user or a library usually must pay for access to electronic versions of a journal. Listed are sites that provide links to electronic journals. Thanks to Kathleen Crea, MLS, UConn Health Center Librarian, and Drs. Charles McKay and Thomas Regan for assistance in creating this web site.
