WWW Virtual Library on Livestock: Horse 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 horse resources lists
over 60 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.
