title: Open your laboratory to the Internet.
abstract: The Internet can open many opportunities for laboratories. A wide variety of information resources are available via the Web, which can be researched more quickly and efficiently with a search engine. A laboratory can pursue marketing and advertising of its services on the Web as well. Consultation and collaboration can be accomplished via e-mail, listservs, and newsgroups. An Intranet can be created on a local area network to share electronic data within an organization. In addition, the rapid technological advances make the possibilities for tomorrow's communications limitless.
