An Expert's View of the Web
A pioneering Internet site to help students, academics, professionals
and others find out which Web sites leading social scientists find
invaluable in their research has been launched by Bristol University.
Called 'Expert's Choice'; the new site can be found on the Social
Science Information Gateway (SOSIG) at www.sosig.ac.uk/experts-choice/
Experts from a range of disciplines and sectors, as well as more
'popular' experts such as the Rt Hon Charles Kennedy, MP, leader of the
Liberal Democrat Party, and author Kate Pullinger, were asked to
recommend their favourite Web site and describe how they found the site
useful.
SOSIG, which is part of Bristol University's Institute for Learning and
Research Technology, receives over a million hits a month. SOSIG helps
students, academics, researchers and professionals find the highest
quality social sciences, business and law related information on the
Internet.
Debra Hiom, Co-Director of SOSIG at Bristol University, said: ' The
recommendations by experts have been made available to help inspire a
new generation of social scientists to use the Web.'
