A number of new FREE Internet tutorials for the Social Sciences have been
released in the Intute Virtual Training Suite this term.
The tutorials are designed to help students develop Internet research

or librarians to support courses in research methods, information literacy
and study skills.
The following tutorials have been completely updated and revised by subject

This 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.
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 tutorials are also being given a new look and feel to make them more
graphical and visually appealing.
The new editions of each tutorial will be released incrementally over the
coming months
