As with the WWW version, the user can click on the link from the home page for a given subject and is presented with a page containing all the links in the database for that section. Each section will also be linked to a short essay, written by a subject specialist, giving guidance on the use of the Internet in the particular area of study. The new search function allows users to enter a keyword and be returned a page containing all the links from the database which mention the keyword in any of the record fields. This should make it easier for the user to find relevant information without having to wade through all the material from several large sections. The material relating to diary entries is also held in database form and can be searched in much the same way as the links.
Users can submit new links for the database or add events to the conference diary.
These comments will be held in the links database and will be associated with the link being commented on. So, for each link the user will have the chance to either visit the link, view a description giving further details about the link, see what others have said about the site to which the link points, or add their own comments about the site, including a 1 to 5 rating for aspects of the site such as the amount of original material, the general design and so on. These one-day intensive courses offer an introduction to the many areas of humanities computing. The Centre's journal Computers and Texts is available in full from the site, containing articles and reviews of digital resources and their use in teaching. Textual Studies has implemented a number of updates and improvements to our WWW site.
