Abstract
This paper provides an overview of NetLinkS, a professional development project for networked learner support (NLS). The project is funded by the UK Electronic Libraries programme, and aims to encourage the further development of NLS across the UK higher education sector. The paper introduces the aims and objectives of the project and the activities carried out in its first year, presents some of the information gathered by the project about current practice in NLS in the UK, and discusses the plans for the project's second phase, from September 1996 to May 1998. The main aim of phase two is to facilitate the development of a networked learning community, or "community of interest," for NLS.
期刊介绍:
Information is widely recognized as a vital resource in economic development. The skills of information handling traditionally associated with libraries, are now in great demand in all sectors, including government, business and commerce. The education and training of information professionals is, therefore, an issue of growing significance. Education for Information has been since 1983 a forum for debate and discussion on education and training issues in the sphere of information handling. It includes refereed full-length articles and short communications on matters of current concern to educators and practitioners alike. Its News section reports on significant activities and events in the international arena.
