Training Courses at the British Library
Environmental Information on the Internet
Friday 25th June 1999
The Internet is an invaluable resource for many environmental queries.
It offers access to unique collections of data as well as
complementing traditional hardcopy and online sources. However it is
proliferating at a bewildering rate.
This course looks at how to retrieve environmental information, from
all types of organisation. Delegates will be introduced to a range of
key sites on the World Wide Web. The course offers a mix of short
presentations and `hands-on' training. Delegates will receive full
course documentation including a list of URLs.

information professionals.
