Rhinology resources on the internet: an update

There has been a significant increase in the number of clinically useful biomedical resources available through the Internet over the last few years. The aim of this article is to present an updated list of all the worldwide web sites of rhinology.

All rhinologic links, which appear on the web site of the journal "Rhinology" were accessed and updated. Non-responding links were discarded and a new extensive survey of all rhinologic sites on the Internet was performed using on-line available search engines. All sites were accessed more than once at different times and their uniform resource locator (URL) address was recorded.

The URL addresses of all rhinologic sites on the Internet appear in categories. Main categories include endoscopy and operative techniques, allergy, olfaction, rhinology clinics and research centers, organizations and societies, scientific journals, discussion groups, news and medical conferences, collective otolaryngology resources, and miscellaneous other sites of interest to rhinologists.

This paper summarizes several types of resources available to rhinologists on the Internet. A complete universal list was composed, in which links to almost all interesting rhinologic links were included.
