Abstract
More and more medical information is appearing on the Internet, but it is not easy to get at the nuggets amongst all the spoil. Bruce McKenzie's editorial in the December 1997 edition of SIM Quarterly dealt very well with the problems of quality, but I would suggest that the problem of accessibility is as much of a challenge. As ever-greater quantities of high quality medical information are published electronically, the need to be able to find it becomes imperative. There are a number of tools to find what you want on the Internet---search engines, agents, indexing and classification schemes and hyperlinks, but their use requires care, skill and experience.
