Created to support the AVCE Leisure & Recreation qualification, this Interactive Course Guide links into the full Leisure & Recreation Digital Library. Thus users have access to wide-reanging statistical and explanatory information on the sport, leisure and recreation industries in the UK.

The guide follows the AVCE topics as follows:

• Unit 1: INVESTIGATING LEISURE & RECREATION
• Unit 2: SAFE WORKING
• Unit 3: THE SPORTS INDUSTRY
• Unit 4: MARKETING LEISURE & RECREATION
• Unit 5: CUSTOMER SERVICE IN LEISURE & RECREATION

Units are broken down into several topics, each of up to several pages, which link students directly to relevant library resources. The user has full access to the library, complete with the more traditional search engine and drill-down navigation.

In this way, the guide acts as a sort of librarian, pointing users to the right sections and giving examples of specific relevant resources whilst giving them free rein to research the whole collection.

Each unit also includes a dozen or so multiple-choice questions intended for self-testing, to reinforce the key points covered and flesh out the theory with examples.
