Hello,
Intute has today released three new Internet tutorials for the Health
and Life Sciences in the Virtual Training Suite:
1) Internet for Veterinary Medicine
http://www.vts.intute.ac.uk/he/tutorial/vet
By Laurian Williamson, Content Co-ordinator, Intute: Health and Life
Sciences, University of Nottingham
2) Internet for Biosciences
http://www.vts.intute.ac.uk/he/tutorial/biosciences
By Dr Stuart Wilson, former Service Officer, Intute: Health and Life
Sciences, University of Nottingham
3) Internet for Health and Social Care
http://www.vts.intute.ac.uk/he/tutorial/health
By Frances Singfield, former Service Officer, Intute: Health and Life
Sciences, University of Nottingham
The tutorials teach Internet research and information literacy skills
and are aimed at students and staff in UK universities and colleges.
They are *free* to access on the Web and take around an hour each to
complete.
This is the second stage of a major programme of change to update and
revise all the tutorials in the Virtual Training Suite over the coming
year.
A national network of expert authors has been commissioned to re-write
the content of each tutorial to bring it in line with recent Internet
developments and to ensure the tutorials continue to offer authoritative
and timely advice on Internet research for over 60 subjects.
The recommended lists of key Internet resources are being completely
updated; there is new advice on Internet searching, with improved
interactive exercises; and a new section called "Success Stories" in
each tutorial to illustrate how the Internet can be used effectively to
support education and research.
The new editions of the remaining tutorials will be released
incrementally over the coming months - watch the website for details:

Best wishes,
Laurian
