The selection has not been based on any guidelines or criteria and NIC does not take the responsibility of the type of information available in these web sites. These have been classified as Resources for Health Professionals and Resources for Patients / Consumers. Internet Resources for Nursing and Allied field specialists have been listed separately. Links to Internet resources for the Medical / Health library professionals have also been compiled.
