Hello folks,
List members may be interested in having a look at the following website. To
quote the site
"GEsource is a free information resource for Geography and the Environment,
and is aimed at staff, students and researchers in the HE and FE
communities. Alongside a growing range of additional services, GEsource
includes a core database of high-quality Internet resources catalogued by
subject specialists across a number of disciplines - the environment,
general geography, human geography, physical geography and techniques and
approaches. The database contains 5244 resources and is updated daily"
http://www.gesource.ac.uk/home.html
The coverage is impressive, and a lot of different search options are
available. One particularly nice feature is the ability to suggest new sites
or other digital resources for inclusion. Another avenue to popularise, for
example your online SMR or HER project.
There is a lot of original content as well as links, e.g. a Geography
timeline to complement the geographical searching, (though this looks a bit
basic in some places e.g. "409 AD Romans leave Britain") and training
materials in using the internet etc.
Otherwise well worth a look.
