Alcohol Policy UK
From today we will be posting more frequently on APUK, to coincide with the development of the AERC Alcohol Academy which launched last month (full details to come shortly). If you can't get to the site every day, you can get these posts by email (max one per day) by signing up here. Alternatively, we can email you a weekly digest; simply email us to request this. Our RSS feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/AlcoholPolicyUk. We have also started Twittering again now that more people are using this service. Follow us at alcoholpolicyuk or Vodafone users can text "follow alcoholpolicyuk" to 86444.
Alcohol Academy discussion list
We have set up a discussion list/forum for local alcohol coordinators and strategic leads. It is restricted to those people at present, and has had a lot of interest and good debate. To subscribe, send an email with your details to [email protected]
Alcohol Misuse discussion list
Rowdy Yates from the Scottish Addictions Studies unit at Stirling University runs this list, and posts frequently with research news and information.
This is a free list, open to anyone with an interest in alcohol-misuse and its treatment, including:
- staff working in alcohol treatment services
- service users in alcohol treatment services
- academics and students studying alcohol misuse
Joining the list is free and allows you to contact over 100 list members with an interest in alcohol misuse. The list is useful for: keeping in contact with friends and colleagues; discussing issues; receiving e-mail alerts for all English-language addiction journals; announcing conferences, events, job vacancies etc; asking for information and advice. Sign up here.
Rowdy has also asked us to mention The Scottish Addiction Studies On-line Library, a major internet-based resource for: policy makers, service planners, managers, practitioners, teachers, researchers, students and service users. Initially established as a resource for on-line students at the University of Stirling in Scotland, the library was made publicly available 7 years ago. It offers access to over 7,500 full-text documents. Unlike many other on-line libraries, the Scottish Addiction Studies On-line Library specialises in full text documents, reports and books. During the course of the next two years, the library collection will be increased and the structure will be enhanced to include a section on journal articles and a section on therapeutic communities.
