title: Use of the Internet for obstetricians and gynecologists.
abstract: The Internet is such a large unstructured body of information that it must be used to be understood. This article limits itself to the World Wide Web for information retrieval. Equipment and access methods are discussed but not in depth. Search engines and their use are discussed in greater detail and examples are given. Repetitive personal use is emphasized as the best possible method of learning. Liberal use of bookmarks is emphasized to build one's own map of this immense knowledge structure.
