title: Web searches for laboratory animal medicine: using the "mouse" for access to online resources.
abstract: Laboratory animal medicine professionals must be able to integrate information from a variety of sources to make sound decisions. To address concerns from preveterinary and veterinary students that information about the specialty is difficult to locate, the authors examined the utility of electronic search engines to provide links to appropriate websites of significant educational value to the field. They assembled this reference document to assist veterinary students, residents, and postdoctoral fellows in the acquisition of online texts, journals, newsletters, government regulations, and other sources of current information as they relate specifically to laboratory animal medicine.
