In addition to the unit notes provided, students were asked to do some reading and research of their own. Certain texts were suggested to students but most were well aware of the possibilities open to them in "surfing the net" with access to web sites of various libraries and societies. Some web sites were suggested to them by the tutor but students on the course also shared suitable web site addresses with their tutor and other students, with comments about which sites they had found most useful.
