OMNI (Organised Medical Information Network) was launched in November 1995 as part of the Electronic Libraries Programme (ELib) [2] in response to the increasing pressures on UK university library resources and the explosion in uncontrolled and unorganised information resources on the Internet. Internet resources were selected for their quality and relevance to a particular audience and this was the subject gateway approach. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue/44/biome/ Fri, 29 Jul 2005 23:00:00 +0000 http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue/44/biome/ BIOME Resource BookletsNew editions of the popular (and free) BIOME booklets, “Internet Resources for Healthcare and Medicine” and “Internet Resources for Animal Health” are now available. The BIOME team have fully revised the content and produced the booklets, for the first time, in full-colour with a more professional design. The booklets will provide students (HE and FE), academics, lecturers and practitioners with a taster of some of the many high-quality resources in two of our subject areas: healthcare and medicine, and animal health. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue/43/biome/ Fri, 29 Apr 2005 23:00:00 +0000 http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue/43/biome/ BIOME Hot TopicsNew Hot Topics [1] are proving of interest to our users and the number of hits continues to increase.
