Abstract

The amount of biological and biomedical information and the number of high quality images available on the Internet are expanding on a daily basis. These hypermedia materials provide colorful images, motion pictures, and sounds which can be used in engineering education to supplement printed textbooks and to form the basis for new electronic ones. A list of sources for biological and biomedical images and other information, including the address for a current version of the list of images, is provided. Problems may result from changes in Internet addresses, temporary inaccessibility of servers, the time required to download large image files, and copyright issues
