The growth of the worldwide collection of computer networks knownas the Internet has led to a rapid increase in the quantity andvariety of information available to scientists in mass spectrometry.It is now possible to learn about the latest mass spectrometrictechniques, compare the capabilities of commercial instruments andparticipate in discussion with colleagues from around the worldwithout ever leaving one's desk. The challenge that comes withthe Internet information explosion is to learn how to navigate thevarious areas of the Internet and fully utilize these new informationsources. It is also important to know how and where to find the mostreliable information on a medium where quality cannot always beassured. The purpose of this paper is to provide a listing and briefdiscussion of on‐line resources available for massspectrometry. World Wide Web sites are tabulated for search pages,index pages for mass spectrometry research groups and companies, massspectrometry societies, local discussion groups, journals andsoftware. Usenet newsgroups and electronic mailing lists of interestto mass spectrometrists are listed and discussed. Copyright ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
