1. WHAT'S NEW
===============

ECONOMICS BOOK CATALOGUE
After a long overhaul, our guide to Economics books is back and 50% bigger.
More than 3750 books available in the UK are categorised by subject, title,
author name and geographical relevance. There is also a new search engine.
As well as publisher's information, we link to COPAC information on each
book so that you can search for it in the UK's major academic libraries. If
you buy a book through the site's Amazon links, a percentage of the price
goes to the Kamibia Hospital Appeal in Sierra Leone.

HANDBOOK GUIDE ON GROUPWORK AND ASSESSMENT
A new chapter of our Handbook is available online in both PDF and Web
forms. Rob Watkins, an economics lecturer at Kingston University, provides
advice on designing group activities, motivating students in groupwork and
marking group assessments. More new guides will appear in coming weeks.
