SURFING THE WEB

PorkNet - http://www.ansci.uiuc.edu/porknet/
PorkNet is an integrated, information access, technology transfer system for the purpose of addressing the needs of the swine sector within Illinois. There are two principle elements, focusing on information collection and dissemination, and the development of novel approaches to information delivery.

Entomology Index of Internet Resources - http://www.ent.iastate.edu/List/
This is an attempt to organize information resources available to entomologists. Without a site such as this, entomologists could waste a lot of time looking for good entomological information on the Internet without much success. The intent of this site is to maintain a collaborative database of useful sites and organize them in a usable manner. In this way, this site serves as a "jumping-off point" for many entomology sites.

Plant Pathology Internet Guide Book - http://www.ifgb.uni-hannover.de/extern/ppigb/ppigb.htm
An Internet resource guide for all aspects of plant pathology, applied entomology and related fields. It is intended as starting-point for scientists, students and all who are interested in phytopathology to explore the Internet. The compilation of websites is divided into thematic categories in which every link is followed by a brief description of the content of the website. Every link is also accompanied by an additional keyword set, which is not visible in PPIGB but which is searchable.

That Y2K Bug! - http://www.cagle.com/Y2K/
The latest cartoons about the Year 2000 Crisis, updated as new ones come in.
