Description
Summary:The Internet undoubtedly has an important part to play in medical teaching, generally speaking, and particularly in anatomy. We therefore undertook to survey, list, explore and study the various sites written in French or English devoted to anatomy on the Internet in order to evaluate them. Sites were identified from their URL address, by search engine or by hypertext links found in already listed sites. Useless and non-relevant sites were excluded. Fifty-two sites were selected and evaluated as to their navigability, illustrations, text and general presentation. Addresses of theses sites are available on a web page (http:/(/)www.rockefeller.univ-lyon1.fr/Anato mie-Lyon-Nord; section liens, section Galerie Virtuelle). This directory could be a very useful working tool for the use of teachers and students. It will be regularly updated.
