Internet-Based Analytical Chemistry Resources: A Model Project

摘要

Man has always sought to organize knowledge in his at-tempts to comprehend the complex world. We have seen many times during history how technological improvements prompted radical changes in the way information has been disseminated. One of the most dramatic examples was Gutenberg's invention some 500 hundred years ago that allowed the mass production of printed books. Today, with the popularity of the Internet, we may be seeing the beginning of a revolution equally influential. New tools have become available that promise to completely change the way information is disseminated. The Internet is already being used for a large number of projects involving, for example, global public libraries and teaching in a variety of fields.
