Please forgive this unsolicited message.  I thought the members of your list would be interested to know about the NODE Learning Technologies Network's freely accessible collection of resources aimed at students and learners, both on- and off-campus [ http://node.on.ca/support ].  I would appreciate you forwarding this message to your list if you think it's appropriate.  Thank you for your time.

The NODE's Resources for Learners pages [ http://node.on.ca/support ] are designed to help students with many aspects of their education. The site is comprehensive yet concise, and as clear and self-contained as possible.

ï     The Reference Shelf is a listing of online basic reference tools, as well as links to online libraries and library catalogues.  Think of this as your "jumping-off" place into cyberspace research!

ï     The Virtual Librarian coaches you through the basics of searching the Internet, teaches you how to critically evaluate the information you received, and gives you a primer in searching techniques so you won't be overwhelmed.

ï     The Study Buddy: everything you're going to need to face the challenges of college or university.  Here are tips to plan effectively, write coherently and study productively.  Think of it as your personal online academic trainer!

ï     The Technology Toolkit demystifies Internet applications, explaining everything from e-mail and listservs, to Archie and Gopher.  Great for those who are familiar with the web  but are ready to branch out.

You can find these resources at http://node.on.ca/support/  Visit us, bookmark us, recommend us to others, and come back often!

These pages are provided as a free service of the NODE Learning Technologies Network ( http://node.on.ca ), a not-for-profit electronic network, facilitating information and resource sharing, collaboration and research in the field of learning technologies for post-secondary education and training.
