Intute

Intute is a free online service providing access to the very best web resources for education and research. All material is evaluated and selected by a network of subject specialists to create the Intute database.

With millions of resources available on the Internet, it is difficult to find relevant and appropriate material even if you have good search skills and use advanced search engines.

The Intute database makes it possible to discover the best and most relevant resources in one easily accessible place. You can explore and discover trusted information, assured that it has been evaluated by specialists for its quality and relevance.

Intute consists of 4 thematic subject areas

intute:arts and humanities

intute: health and life sciences

intute: science, engineering and technology

intute: social sciences

As well as some of the old favourites like the Virtual Training Suite and Behind the Headlines, there are quite a few new additions to the old Resource Discovery Network which it replaces. A good first point of contact to familiarise yourself is the A-Z of services.

There are lots of new resources for FE including a dedicated FE datatabse, FE case studies and a downloadable booklet.

If you are a libarian planning to demonstrate Intute to teaching staff or students, here is a presentation that you can use or adapt
