    Website created by Chris Willmott at the University of Leicester as a resource for lecturers and students of bioscience in Higher Education. The main aim of biologyonthebox is to share suggestions for the use of television in teaching Biology. The only constraint is that the programmes suggested must be available in Box of Broadcasts (Bob). The site is clearly laid out and easy to navigate. A helpful list of categories, from Agriculture and Bioethics to Virology and Zoology helps users navigate the resource. Each entry features a url to the programme on BoB along with information about the programme and suggestions on how to use it in teaching.

    The Association Science & Télévision (AST) is a group of independent producers working for 37 different production companies based in France. These companies produce films in all genres but a large portion of their output is devoted to scientific productions. Together, they produce the vast majority of scientific programming broadcast on television in France, much of which also circulates abroad. The website (in French and English versions) gives details of the member companies and the association’s activities, together with a catalogue of the films they have produced (searchable by title or producer), with links to the producer’s site for further filmographic information.

    Databases, Information Sources

    Part of the Internet Archive, which also covers archived moving images (The Internet Moving Images Archive), audio and software, the Wayback Machine holds cached versions of thousands of websites and billions of pages, allowing users to look at sites that are no longer available or at earlier versions of ones that are still around. An invaluable resource that, due to the gigantic nature of the holdings, is slightly hampered by the fact that no list of the holdings can be easily provided. This means inevitably that correct recall of the URL in question is necessary, or failing that, searching for it on the web first.
