====================================== Information about NISS Services ==
** News Index available
--------------------
A useful "News Index" resource which searches 250 major online newspapers at
once has recently been added to the News area of NISS Services, available
at the URL http://www.niss.ac.uk/news/
News Index lets you search current articles from newspapers from around the
Globe, and also offers direct links to selected news sources from its home
page. This resource can save you time - but don't forget that there are many
more links to other newspapers and journals elsewhere in NISS's News area.
** ATHENS workshop - the next one ?
--------------------------------
The latest ATHENS workshop, at Loughborough University, was held a few days
ago and successfully addressed the needs of its audience (composed mainly of
ATHENS Administrators from UK HE sites). If you were unable to get to that
event, don't worry, we plan to hold another workshop in the summer. Details
of future events will be circulated widely (including here in NISS Advisor)
as soon as they become available.
** What's New in Reference
-----------------------
NISS's Reference area at http://www.niss.ac.uk/reference/ has recently
acquired its own "What's New" page, which can be accessed via a link on the
main Reference page. The information provided here relates exclusively to
changes made within the Reference area pages, and thus complements the
NISS-wide What's New (and Archive) which is available via the About NISS
area at http://www.niss.ac.uk/niss/
Changes included in the Reference What's New cover new resources, updated
links or text, as well as organisational or formatting alterations to the
area's pages.
** FE Now! latest edition
----------------------
The current edition of FE Now! - the journal for educationalists in the
FE Sector from Hobsons Publishing, is now available online. You can access
the FE Now! site at http://www.niss.ac.uk/hobsons/fe-now/ and then select
the "Current Issue" button to view the articles.
** Have a good Easter break !
