The World Wide Web is always changing. New sites are added, some of the sites that we are familiar with are removed or become inaccessible (password protected) and others are revamped and/or the content is modified. In the process, the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) may no longer work, even when a site still exits, because the locator has been changed.
In this issue, the websites reviewed by the Resource Guide since 1999 that can be still located on the Web have been gathered and listed by subject. When necessary, the URL has been updated.
The original reviews for the websites in the new listing can be found in back issues of the Journal or its predecessor, the Basic Science Educator. The current list of websites includes the title of the website, the URL, the reviewer’s name, the volume and issue number(s), the page number(s) and the year of publication.
If you know of a website that basic science teachers, clinical instructors, and students working in the medical sciences would find useful, please consider submitting a review to The Medical Educator’s Resource Guide. You can do so by sending the review by e-mail (jrcotter@buffalo.edu).
