Growing Use of the Internet in Providing Current Information

As the world shrinks to become a "global village," communication become more vital. The internet provides immediate transfer of information...no more waiting for snail mail!

The Wound Care Institute is growing to meet the communication needs of health professionals. Since the third newsletter, we have changed from being a "tenant" on another site to having our own registered domain name... http://www.woundcare.org This of course changed our e-mail address to tamara @woundcare.org. Please note both changes. Since the Wound Care Institute is a not-for-profit organization, we use the "org" in our name instead of the common "com" or "net".

When Dr Fishman approached me about working on her newsletter, I thought she was talking about a little four page flyer. When I saw the amount and depth of information she wanted to share and I immediately thought that this was more like a textbook that one would receive at a university and that is where I came up with the idea for a "spiral notebook" for appearance of newsletter 4. I hope this appearance is clear on your browser. Graphics and text often change appearance on different browsers as well as different monitor settings. This newsletter was designed using Netscape with a size 10 font and a 15 inch monitor. Dr Fishman wants each newsletter to have its own look. If you have a clever idea for newsletter 5, please submit your concept to either me or Dr Fishman.

Our "off-line" newsletter on disks also has a new look with new buttons on the tool bar to help viewers navigate from section to section without missing a page. If you wish to order a copy of this newsletter to be viewed without being on the internet, please contact the:
