Dear Colleague,

Netskills will shortly be running the following workshops at the University of Newcastle:

1. Detecting and Deterring Plagiarism

   Friday 17th June

   This is a practical workshop aimed at staff in further and higher
   education institutions who wish to find out more about the impact of
   the web on plagiarism, and how to deal with it. As well as gaining a
   thorough understanding of issues concerned with plagiarism,
   participants will also explore essay banks, online plagiarism
   detection services, and, through discussions and scenarios, consider
   different approaches to deterring plagiarism.

2. Information Skills: Is Google Enough?

   Thursday 23rd June

   For many people Google is the one and only place to search for
   information on the internet. But how do you know if the sites Google
   finds are of good quality? And just how helpful is it to get several
   million hits? This workshop will help you learn how to make the most
   of Google, and a range of other information sources, in order to
   find quality information quickly and effectively.
   
   This workshop will give you a greater understanding of how Google
   works and equip you to search it, and other sites, more effectively.
   The workshop also provides you with the opportunity to explore what
   else is out there, learn about new developments in searching and
   think about how to evaluate web sites for quality.
