- Abstract
- Online textbooks can be connected to other sources of information to improve their educational value. We describe 2 case studies. One used in a medical textbook and connected to medical journal abstracts via a thesaurus. The textbook, journal abstracts, and thesaurus were stored on a CD-ROM. The other case study shows a textbook on the WWW that is connected to various other sources of information. About half the book references are to web sites, and the textbook is part of an online course that is connected to an online catalog and other courses. Such linkages among information spaces should help students navigate the information relevant to their studies
