Apologies for cross-posting ISI Web of Science Service for UK Higher Education Train-the-trainers courses The ISI Web of Science service will be provided by MIMAS from September 1999. In advance of the service going live a number of training sessions have been scheduled specifically intended for library staff who would then be training their colleagues and other members of their institution. A separate series of briefings, providing a general introduction to the ISI Web of Science service, will be organised and publicised separately shortly. All the courses will be afternoon only, starting at 2pm. The format will be an initial taught section followed by a practical with workbooks supplied. On-line documentation and training materials will be made available via the service web site at http://wos.mimas.ac.uk/ to coincide with the training courses. The material has been developed by library staff at Manchester Metropolitan University and John Rylands University Library of Manchester and is intended to supplement that provided by ISI. In total over 530 places are available, but please indicate a second location/date preference when booking. There is no charge for attendance, but note that lunch will not be provided and attendees are responsible for their own travel arrangements.
