Welcome to the WTH blog

Welcome to the Web Treasure Hunt blog!

A bit of history:
The Web Treasure Hunt (WTH) has been a staff-training tool within Westminster Libraries for a few years now. Just a basic email sent to all library staff, its aim has been to alert them to a website or two that they may not know, or that they may have forgotten. We (the Information Development Librarians - henceforth to be known as the IDLs or 'Treasure Hunters'...) write a bit of blurb about the site that will help them to use it - for themselves or for their customers in the library.
The sites featured are almost exclusively those that already appear within our ‘Gateway to Websites’, though we do occasionally feature other sites such as temporary local events.

Staff who leave often request that they are still sent the WTH email, and many pass it on to their friends, so we decided to make it public in this blog.

Hope you find it useful.
