"It is especially interesting that Tom Ferguson (see below) mentions how health consumers are taking an active role in developing and organizing Internet sources. He sites the case of Karen Parles, a librarian who developed a lung cancer directory site after she was diagnosed with the disease. Other examples of excellent consumer-developed health directory sites from the Hardin Meta Directory are mentioned in this article." - from the author.
