Interactive Web-based Research Guides

(Go to the RRC Library Research Guides page)

Hi. My name is Norman Beattie. I'm Co-ordinator of Public Services at Red River College Library, Winnipeg.

This web presentation introduces the Red River College Library's system of interactive, web-based research guides.

The guides are designed to make it easier for Red River College students and instructors to find the information they need in the College library, in online databases and on the web.

You can click on the purple arrows to go forward and back between pages in this presentation and you can jump to any particular page by using the Table of Contents menu in the left navigation bar.

The menu displays links to the main topics, but each main topic opens its own menu of subtopics.

You can repeat this sound bite by clicking on your web browser's page refresh button.

On some pages, like this one, you will see a "Try me!" button that lets you pursue a live link.
