Cherchez les infirmieres

Des genies du Ministere de la Defense Nationale creaient l'ARPAnet, ce qui devenait l'Internet de nos jours. Quant aux auteurs, les infirmieres sont des internautes qui connaissent toutes les destinations dans l'Internet, les plus anciennes et les toutes dernieres. Car on va au File Transfer Protocol, pour savoir quelque chose des soins preventifs des diminues physiques et mentaux. On voyage au Gopher, pour connaitre le lieu pionnier Nightingale. D'une part NURSENET et NRSING-L, et d'autre part alt.support et sci.med, sont des plus reconnus et recherches lorsqu'on veut, respectivement, les nouvelles de l'Usenet et les troiscentaines de discussions Listserv. Bien sur, on fait des recherches dans les bibliotheques du Telnet, et au moyen d'Agency for health care policy and research, Alta Vista et Yahoo du World Wide Web. En fait, les voila, toutes les destinations de l'Internet!

The High-Performance Computing Act of 1991 by Vice President Al Gore Jr when he was just a young Tennessee Senator is one of the forces behind expanding the US Defense Department's ARPAnet into a personal and professional network of the people. Authors Leslie H Nicoll and Teena H Ouellette show how nursing has taken advantage of the different parts of the people's Internet: File Transfer Protocol, for fall prevention support and handicap; Gopher sites, such as the pioneer Nightingale site; about 300 Listserv health-oriented discussion lists, such as NURSENET and NRSING-L; Telnet, with specific health science libraries accessed by the associated University home page; Usenet health- and nursing-related newsgroups, mostly among the alt.support and sci.med groups; and the World Wide Web, with the AltaVista and Yahoo engines searching for free and with the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research uniquely searching and downloading full-text clinical practice guidelines. COMPUTERS IN NURSING: NURSE'S GUIDE TO THE INTERNET is a one of a kind book that works well with Robert Kiley's MEDICAL INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET.
