SMILE - a free information literacy resource
Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 8:24AM Hi again,
Just a note about SMILE. SMILE is an online information literacy and employability skills training package. It is freely available under a creative commons license for use and modification. It is made up of web pages and multimedia content which can be easily edited using any HTML editor.
I've just put a new edition up on JORUM - it is called SMILE 3.0 and you can find it here
http://dspace.jorum.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/17574
If you don't have access to JORUM, get in touch with me directly and I can send you a version as a zip file or stick it on a pen drive for you.
The new edition has loads of extra content which was created after talking to our lecturers, so you are sure to find something useful there!
It is aimed at undergraduate students, but a lot of the content is pretty generic and could be used in a school, FE or public library situation.
An older version is available on our open access site at http://www.gcu.ac.uk/library/SMILE/Unit_1_vers3/start.html
I have just sent in the new version to our IT team, so I hope that it will be available soon.
Happy to talk further about SMILE, feel free to contact me at m.kelt@gcu.ac.uk

Hi Marion,
Just to remind myself - are we safe to use SMILE in our own organisations/institutions? I think you'd mentioned a CC licence before but don't want to break any rules! hang on, have just looked at your other post and it's even in bold for me! Never to old to evaluate my information searching methods...!
Thanks,
Abi
