There is a book out there which I could recommend on that topic. It´s
about the use of the internet in biology, giving information about
lots of search engines and databases- with lots of examples. 
I don´t know the date it was published, but the rest is:
´Internet Tools for the New Biology´, Leonard F. Peruski Jr., ASM
Press, 199? (should be ´96 or ´97- most probably ´97).
