================== HES POSTING =======================
[NOTE: This is the message I apologized for improperly posting yesterday.
It turned out that the Eh.Net machine saved me -- it sent the message back
to the original list from which the message came (Eh.Teach) rather than
posting it to HES. So the apology was not necessary and probably only
confused you!! I formatted it correctly this time. --RBE]

and found it wanting, others rave about it. It is true that there are
many valuable, quality resources for social science teaching and

This practical one-day course intends to highlight what is available
and help you locate resources of use to you using SOSIG, Biz/ed and

Each topic is supported by presentations, demonstrations and hands-on
sessions allowing participants to put what they have learned into

A full day: 10am - 4:30pm
