Biology Hypertextbook Chapters, provided by the MIT Experimental Study
group, was originally intended as a study aid to an introductory biology
course at MIT, but is an excellent source of material for any introductory
biology course. It includes chapters on chemistry, large molecules, cell
biology, enzyme biochemistry, photosynthesis, genetics, DNA, and
immunology. Each chapter contains thorough explanations of the topic. One
of the strengths of the site is its extensive use of graphical models to
illustrate concepts. The chemistry review, large molecules, and cell
biology sections contain particularly graphic content. Note that Internet
visitors are asked not to participate in the self quiz exercises.

Peter Scott, the creator of HYTELNET, has collaborated with Doug Macdonald
to create webCATS, a page of library catalogs which can be searched via
the Web. webCATS is arranged for searching geographically, by type of
library, and by library catalog vendor. The webCATS page will soon have an
interactive form for adding a URL to your Web searchable library catalog,
and in the meantime an email address is provided. The site also connects
to the HYTELNET home page. HYTELNET is a computer utility which gives
users instant access to telnet accessible library catalogs, FREE-NETS,
BBSs, gophers, wais, etc.
