[Internet for physicians: a tool for today and tomorrow ].

The Internet is becoming more and more part of our habits regarding documentation and communication, thus limiting the frontiers to only that of the language. As in many other fields, the Internet is also present in the medical domain. The Internet is accessible to all, providing a technology which is simple and ergonomic and furthermore less costly. A growing number of individuals are indeed offering information, and the multiplication and diversification of documentary thus resulting renders the quality often questionable and the search for information difficult. This article firstly presents the Internet services with examples in the medical domain and more particularly in paediatrics. It then identifies the problems related to the Internet and further details three tools useful to find medical information and to surf on the Internet: Medline, a bibliographical reference search tool (from the National Library of Medicine-NLM); Medhunt, a search tool of the Health on the Net Foundation specialised in the health domain; and the HONcode, a code of ethics developed to homogenize medical information on the Internet.

The Internet: practical applications in nurse education [corrected].

To a number of nurse educators, the Internet is a new, innovative and exciting teaching and learning tool. Sadly, anecdotal evidence suggests that many educators remain largely unaware of these new technologies or their potential to assist in the process of learning. Such a situation is not surprising given the limited amount of literature detailing the use of the Internet in nurse education and a profound lack of educational research in the area. This paper will highlight some of the benefits of the Internet for nursing students and educators, provide an overview of a number of Internet technologies and suggest some practical applications of these technologies in nurse education. A glossary of Internet terms is included.
