web of knowledge"Web of Knowledge. and I found that incredibly useful, and I would have loved to have known that in my first year! ...You can look for specific articles. You can just type in a Search, and find loads of Articles and read through them. They bring up all the abstracts –which you can read as well. As well as that is a ‘funky’ little feature in which you can 'Save the Articles' that you want. They will store the Articles. You can keep searching, and then at the end go back and look at all of them. They will be on one page – all the Articles."

"I really like Blackboard, but I think that there is an awful lot on there, and it could be made a lot easier to use. The navigation is difficult. My lecturer might say: “We’ve put up this, on this subject”, and then I won’t know which section it’s in. I’d have to go into each section and open each document section to find it. There’s a lot of things on Blackboard that I wouldn’t use. It just makes everything much more cluttered, so it’s difficult to focus on what you want."
