The video outlines, through interviews with academics, librarians and students, some of the issues surrounding how students use the Internet as a research tool. It offers suggestions for developing and delivering training sessions for end users to help them look beyond mainstream Internet search engines and to explore subscription-based databases. The production was funded by the Higher Education Academy and I will be talking about it at the HEA ICS Conference in Liverpool later this month.

So far there are several videos posted to the channel showing teaching staff talking about their research and students talking about our courses. We will add more over the coming months. Visit the channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/infostudies – you can also comment on the videos.
