CTI Mathematics has been approached by the UK Mirror Service to
provide suggestions for freely available internet-based resources,
currently located overseas, that are of particular use to the UK
Biology Academic Community. These resources would be
recommended for Mirroring (copying) within the UK to reduce
performance issues and charges incurred by HE institutions for
trans-atlantic bandwidth.
Suggestions may include materials and packages (including
shareware, freeware and graphics), used in both teaching and
research, by both students and staff for academic purposes.
At present, the JISC funded service best caters for IT specialists,
but would like to develop subject-based areas which are concerned
specifically with providing for the information needs of those within
specified disciplines.
Please forward your suggestions to the UK Mirror Service at
[log in to unmask] Should any of our contacts wish to act
as a key contact for their specific subject area to provide future
suggestions for material to the service, please let us know and we
will submit this information at the same time.
