Intute


The Resource Discovery Network (RDN) now called Intute is a JISC-funded service dedicated to providing effective access to high quality Internet resources for the learning, teaching and research community. The RDN has series of Internet resource catalogues containing high quality Internet sites, selected and described by specialists from within UK academia and affiliated organisations. Now this site is not working but it will be running this summer.

Originally funded by higher education, since Spring 2000, the JISC has been supported by both the further education and HE funding councils in the UK. In response to this change in remit, the RDN has been working closely with the FE community to develop its services to ensure their relevance to this new audience. 

RDN aims to significantly develop the content of RDN hub Internet Resource Catalogues (IRCs) for FE users. This will be achieved by increasing the number of resources in hub IRCs relevant to the FE community by collecting records enhanced with FE level and subject information from two major institutional resources. In addition, selected existing RDN resources will be mapped to FE level and subject information. These mapped resources will then be linked to the curriculum through the production of a number of subject-based showcase teaching packs.
