New video tutorials available
Jonathan Blaney, 05 March 2011
Two new screencasts (video tutorials) are available on the site. They are very brief and are designed to help people get the most out of their use of British History Online.
One screencast explains how to use the advanced search function, and the other shows what can be done on the browse page.
We plan to add more screencasts in the coming months, introducing some key content of the site.
Please let us know what you think of the screencasts on the 'contact us' page.
