The prototype course was developed for the Cape Higher Education Consortium (CHEC). It was purchased by the SEALS Library Consortium, of which UFH is a member, with funds donated by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. SEALS members individually workshopped the course in order to adapt it to local needs and conditions.

Please approach Suzette Oosthuizen, Senior Librarian Information Services at the UFH Library, Alice Campus, if you have any suggestions for enhancement or improvement of the course.

The developers, Janine Lockhart and Adriaan Coetzee, would also welcome feedback on any aspect of this resource. It is envisaged that later versions will incorporate such suggestions. The developers may be contacted by e-mail at lockhartj@cput.ac.za or coetzeeaj@cput.ac.za.
