Welcome to the GEOS219 World Wide Web (WWW) site. The purpose in setting up the site is to expand your learning and communication options within the unit. As presently structured the site offers you five main capabilities:

• Population Sites on the World Wide Web: A selection of useful population sites on the WWW have been identified for you to access. These will give you some idea of the vast array of resources becoming available to population geographers on the Internet.

  Many of the sites have built in search engines to help you locate material.
  I have also provided links to several of the leading web metasearch engines – Dogpile, Google, Google Scholar and Metacrawler. These and many other useful sites are located in the “Useful Population/Health Sites on the World Wide Web” section, available from the GEOS219 home page.

  The Human Geography site and The University site are available by clicking on one of their logos at the top of the page.

• Glossary: containing health and population terms that you should know and that are often used by geographers.
• Resources: has a variety of tools and information that will aid you with your essay and research assignments.
• Course content links: in the form of lecture and tutorial titles as well as links to iLectures.

• Unit outline : this contains information such as unit aims and objectives, lecture and tutorial times, readings, assignments and assessment procedures.

I hope you use and enjoy these web facilities and would appreciate any feedback from you on ways you feel the site could be usefully developed.
