Websites and gateways

Learn how to start using the RCN websites and gateways with our short online demo:


Delicious

Delicious is a social bookmarking tool which can help you find, store, save and share online resources.
 
You will find the Library, Archives and Information Services delicious bookmarks useful for a wide variety of topics such as statistics, careers, evidence-based practice, information technology, legislation, mental health, patient information and much more.
 
All bookmarked resources in delicious are tagged (assigned subject keywords). The top 10 tags are always displayed on the right hand side of the page. There is also a link to all the tags used which is arranged alphabetically.
 
All resources that are bookmarked are assigned one or more tags which reflect the subject area(s) the website covers e.g. diabetes, patient-safety, evidence-based practice (please note that hyphens are used for tags of more than one word).
 
Please note that Library, Archives and Information Services are unable to accept responsibility for the accuracy or otherwise of any information contained in the websites listed in delicious.

Intute

Intute is a free online guide to quality-assured Internet resources. Intute brings together thousands of Internet resources in one clear and simple to use database.

With Intute as one of your regular points of reference you can keep on top of your subject and improve your web search skills.

Please note that due to funding cuts, as from August 2010, Intute will no longer be adding new resources to this site.
