    The UK Web Archive is based at the British Library. It collects, makes accessible and preserves web resources of scholarly and cultural importance from the UK domain. As of February 2012 nearly 10,000 websites have been archived there. Contributors to the UK Web Archive seek permission from the website owner for every website it archives, despite this being costly and time-consuming. Users can see how a website has evolved over time by accessing the snapshots ("instances") that the archive takes at regular intervals. The archive is free to view, accessed directly from the Web itself and, since archiving began in 2004, has continued to grow at a rate of several hundred per month. Sites can be searched by name and category and viewed in a number of dynamic visualisations including N-grams, tag clouds and 3-D walls. Users can also nominate sites for inclusion.

    RadioListings is an episode guide to the speech based programmes broadcast by the BBC, compiled by enthusiast Paul Wells. There are details for some musical programmes, and some listings for other stations, but the main focus is on scripted speech. Currently there are details for over 33,000 programmes, from 1949 to the present day, though the bulk are from 1997 onwards when the BBC put its schedules online. The main index by the programme name but more limited searching is also possible by credits and date of broadcast. The database is updated weekly and revised daily. The majority of data is obtained via a feed from the BBC and this is supplemented by information from other sources.

    Links-up is an EU project looking at how ‘Web 2.0’ technologies – e.g. social networking software – are changing the face of education and training for disadvantaged people. The project puts together a picture of the ‘landscape’ of ‘Learning 2.0 for Inclusion’ by reviewing what has been done in the academic and research field, as well as by practitioners working on the ground. It uses a series of ‘action research’ experiments, collaborating with host projects working in the field, to evaluate the added contribution Web 2.0 can make to practices that use learning to support social inclusion. The website offers a collection of case studies as well as podcasts on local initiatives such as the Podcasting-Workshop in Senior citizen center of Walser Birnbaum.
