I've just booked to view this webinar on 19th January 2015. I use Discovery and anything to help getting optimal results is very welcome.

I always go to Catalogue Day (last Friday in November) and they usually have a pep talk to tell you how wonderful Discovery is.

I hated it to start with, but they have been ironing out a lot of the glitches. Interestingly, there was far less hostility this time, suggesting that they are finally reaching where they want to be. And it has to be a plus that all the miscellaneous databases are put together, rather than hiding away.

There should be a podcast of all the talks, but of course I cannot find any mention of it on the website.

for the forgetful - what is discovery?

[Phoenix]

The fancy name for the catalogue of our National Archives.
The fact that they have a webinar to explain how to use it says it all.

Thanks.

I find it hard to operate.

I've always had trouble finding anything with the National Archives.
