The Global Health Network at the University of Pittsburgh is an "alliance
of experts in health and telecommunications who are actively developing the
architecture for a health information structure for the prevention of
disease in the 21st century." Its Web page provides links to all aspects of
health information including: international, national, regional, local and
non-governmental health organizations; resources, including global health
resources, public health guides, selected subject resources, medical
resources, guides to and selected full text of electronic publications;
specialized home pages; listings of selected meetings; health networks;
available grants and position opportunities; and a listing of selected GHN
publications, among others. http://www.pitt.edu/HOME/GHNet/GHNet.html
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) offers a Usenet addresses
service that allows users to search for email addresses that have been
collected from Usenet postings from 1991 to 1996. The power of the site is
the size of the database (over four million addresses), as well as the fact
that the answer to each query is accompanied by links to local directory
services that allow verification of the address. Query addresses are
returned in the chronological order of the postings. Addresses only (not
postings) are returned. While this service, like all email query services,
does not guarantee finding a correct address, its creators have given you
the tools to attempt to verify what you find. Concise, useful searching
help is available from the home page. http://usenet-addresses.mit.edu/
