title: [The Internet as a communication medium in veterinary medicine].
abstract: Medicine is based on expert experience and expert knowledge. One of the newest means to exchange up-to-date information is the Internet, the so-called information highway. Among academic institutions in Germany, transferring information over this world-wide communication network has become increasingly important, particularly concerning national and international cooperations in science and education. The acceptance has improved with new user-friendly graphical computer applications. The internet is regarded as a milestone on the way to the information society. In this report, we will present an overview of resources and services relevant to veterinary medicine available in the international data-network free of charge.
