A new edition of the ‘Internet for Historians’ online tutorial has been released in the Intute: Virtual Training Suite at: http://www.vts.intute.ac.uk/he/tutorial/history

The tutorial, which teaches Internet research skills, has been completely updated and revised by staff from the Institute of Historical Research, University of London.

‘Internet for Historians’ is an interactive step-by-step guide created to help historians make the best use of Internet resources in their academic work.

Users are taken on a ‘site-seeing’ tour - a survey of online resources useful for study and research. The tutorial then provides advice on finding further resources, and gives tips on planning effective search strategies. The third section teaches techniques for evaluating websites. Finally, the tutorial presents specific examples of how the Internet can meet the needs of individual users. Quizzes and exercises help consolidate what is learnt.

The tutorial is ideal for individual use, and can also be used in a class setting.

‘Internet for Historians’ will be updated and maintained by staff at Intute: Arts and Humanities.
