Abstract

The World Wide Web (WWW) has much to offer clinicians, nurses, scientists and all those concerned with gerontology, including our patients and their relatives. This article reviews the history and structure of the WWW, outlines the basics of how to use it and what is available for the gerontologist. This is not a comprehensive list of all known webpages in gerontology, since this would not be possible, given the ever-changing nature of the WWW. Instead, this article offers a background knowledge and introduction to the types of resources that are available, enabling more productive use of the WWW for finding information in gerontology.
