New tutorial for America: History & Life and Historical Abstracts

There is a new tutorial for the America: History & Life and Historical Abstracts databases. It is avaiable from the ANimated Tutorial Sharing Project - http://www.brandonu.ca/library/coppul/ - which contains Open Source Tutorials for other libraries to access, modify and use as they wish. All tutorials are Flash tutorials and include Audio.

To access the new tutorial go to: https://dspace.ucalgary.ca/handle/1880/44659

From here you can either view the tutorial by selecting the SWF (Shockwave Flash) file, or download the source code for editing in ViewletBuilder by selecting the QVP File.

ANTS is an inter-institutional collaborative project created by COPPUL and it contains tutorials created by professional librarians. Most are for E-resources identified for tutorial development via our Wiki list - http://wiki.uwinnipeg.ca/index.php/COPPUL_Tutorials. This list is dynamic and can be added to if you want to see a tutorial developed for another
e-resource not on it.

Contributions to the project are open to everyone, and all are welcome to use these tutorials.
