Guide to the Internet |
This guide has been developed by the members of the Internet Society of
Orthopedic Surgery and Trauma (ISOST) to serve as a self-guided
tutorial to the Internet for orthopedists. Although there are many
other guides available, we felt that a guide written by orthopedic
surgeons specificially directed to the interests of fellow orthopedists
might more directly address your needs than a general interest guide:
searching MedLine, designing an office website, surfing the net for
orthopedic information. This guide is an ongoing project and will be
continually updated, in the way that only an Internet document can be.
It will be highly hyperlinked, with orthopedically-oriented examples.
It is designed to allow you to choose the level of expertise and
subject area that interest you at the time. We have tried to make your
journey easier and more productive by teaching you about the tools
you'll be using. We also want to give you some ideas about where you'll
want to go on the Orthopaedic Internet. And when you're ready to start
contributing to the orthopaedic knowledgebase on the Internet, we'll
show you how you can get involved in our organization. For those of us
in the global orthopaedic community the Internet is about a huge global
conversation.
Your comments and feedback are appreciated.
