InfoTrekk

Have you looked at InfoTrekk? Can you find books, journal articles and Web sites, but need more specialised information? Are you preparing for a thesis or a major project?

InfoTrekk Plus continues on from InfoTrekk, with 10 Treks on finding information such as statistics, Acts of Parliament, theses and more!

Learn how to keep up-to-date and manage all that information!

Start with Trek 11 or any Trek. Test yourself with quizzes!

Each Trek should take you around 10 minutes to work through. (They are a little longer than InfoTrekk.)

The InfoTrekkPlus team would love your comments.
