Bioethics.net
This is the Internet's first and largest site on bioethics, produced and supported
by the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania. Its audience is both
scientist and layperson, and it includes a mix of content designed to appeal to
both types. It includes current articles in full-text from the American Journal
of Bioethics online as well as tables of contents of other ethics journals. It's
updated daily with today's bioethics headlines. Its only drawback is its design,
which has little logical order and small type.
BioMedCentral
BioMed Central supports SPARC (Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition)
which encourages low-cost alternatives to scholarly publishers. BioMed Central
makes several biology journals available for free on the web.
Biomedical Information
Resources & Services -- by Subject
The Karolinksa Institute Library in Sweden created this subject-oriented list of
online biomedical resources. It functions as a biomedical web portal, putting
sites in categories such as Molecular Biology, History of Biomedicine, and Biophysics
and Spectroscopy. As it's a portal, the quality of individual sites varies as does
their currency and value but as a collection of resources, the quantity and focus
is remarkable.
Biotechnology
Industry
A Financial Times survey of the biotechnology industry with links to articles providing
an overview and industry case studies.
Biotechnology
Resources
An excellent resource from the American Library Association. This site has numerous
links to biotech resources in industry, research, education, associations, e-journals,
discussion groups and more.
ChemFinder
This site links to many other Internet resources in the fields of biochemistry,
health/medicine, chemical structures and usage. Select "Indexed Sites" in the left-hand
column to find them.
National Center for Biotechnology
