New Information Sheet on Nutrition Society Website
The Nutrition Society has a new Information Sheet on its website at www.nutritionsociety.org/careers/studentsinfo.htm. This is Information Sheet #4 and it lists email listservers and forums, webbased forums, e-advisory services and sites giving free or low cost access to online journals. The site gives links to three other Information Sheets that list free or low cost newsletters, sources of publications and CD-ROMs.
Please send any information for updating or correcting the Information Sheets to Sandra Smart (s.smart@nutsoc.org.uk) or Ann Burgess (annburgess@sol.co.uk)
