More Fishing Lore
This online guide relies on suggestive headings, instructive sentences, and page-long explanations. For a more thorough discussion of what it recommends, and why, you can turn to its paper companion – an 89-page, seven-chapter, self-published guide-booklet.
This guide-booklet begins by explaining why Web-based offerings supply health education of a quality that paper publications can’t duplicate. For the benefit of those wishing to learn or to improve technical skills, it devotes a chapter to basic techniques for retrieving and reading web sites. Then, in turn, it examines our six featured health-care hubs. While providing details about each one’s authority, organization, and information, it suggests how its resources are most aptly put to use for learning and for teaching.
In a final pair of chapters this paperbound guide shows how best to use the Web to conduct in-depth research and to pursue practical matters pertaining to health and medicine. First it tells how to differentiate among specialized materials and specialty sites that our mainline hubs recommend as supplements. Then it outlines a strategy for culling materials from the Web at large with help from foremost health-site directories and search engines.
In style as well as content -- not least because it includes additional references to fishing -- this guide-booklet is more popular than technical. To obtain it you must contact its author, your lead angler, via tobymarotta@earthlink.net.
