WISER sessions coming up (including a session on US History resources)

WISER: Reading lists
Wednesday 28th May 2008 (week 6), 12.30 - 1.30, OUCS, Banbury Road.
Providing online reading lists is an easy and quick way to help your students locate material in Oxford libraries. This session outlines the process of doing this. We will also explore user-friendly Web 2.0 applications, which give you the opportunity to create reading lists that are more interactive and encourage discussion.

Friday 30th May 2008 (week 6), 12.30 - 1.30, OUCS, Banbury Road.
This session will introduce key information sources for the study of colonial American and the history of United States.
