WWW Virtual Library on Livestock: Diary Cattle Resources
The WWW Virtual Library on Livestock is a new directory that
Larry Burditt of Oklahoma State University established in May of 1995. Even though
it's been up only a few months, the site is getting 1,000 hits a week and that
number is rapidly growing. "My goal is to provide a central site with listings
to livestock information all over the world," says Larry who is an animal scientist
working as a systems analyst for OSU's Department of Animal Sciences. "Because
of the wide variety of ways that information has been made available on the Internet
it's not always easy to locate the individual pieces of information. The library
provides a common layout for people and hopefully makes it much easier to find
information." Larry's page on dairy cattle resources lists over 50 sites. The
livestock library is an offspring of CERN's Virtual Library on Agriculture
which itself is an offspring of CERN's
Virtual Library on everything.
Internet Old-timer Ken Boschert, a veterinarian and computer aficionado
at the Washington University School of Medicine developed the Electronic Zoo and
NetVet way back in the infancy of the Web in 1993. "At that time, gopher and WWW
were quite young and nobody else had put together a central resource for veterinary
or animal information," Ken says. "I knew how to do it and filled the information
gap." NetVet and the Electronic Zoo have grown to be one of the best sites on
the Web. The site offers the net surfer attractive graphics and an easy-to-navigate
interface. The site provides links to a plethora of animal-related resources on
the Net.
