Who is it designed for?
It is predominantly designed for use by Local Highway Authorities within the United Kingdom and their umbrella organisations such as the CSS (County Surveyors’ Society), Association of London Authorities etc. The information contained in MOLASSES is also of interest to the wider transport community, particularly the Department for Transport (DfT) and the Highways Agency (HA). Enquiries are welcomed from all interested parties in the United Kingdom and abroad. (It should be noted MOLASSES only contains information on Local Safety Schemes installed in the United Kingdom.) To find out more about how to get information from MOLASSES go to the Obtain Info page.
Searchpath is designed for students in classes with a substantial writing component or introductory-level research, especially for English 1050, BIS 1420, and Engineering 1020. However, we hope instructors of other classes will find it useful and assign it to their students. How Can Instructors Effectively Use Searchpath with Their Courses? Please have students complete Searchpath before they begin their research or attend a library session. Students can complete Searchpath on their own time and submit their quiz results to you. Many instructors have chosen to give extra credit points to students who complete Searchpath. We strongly suggest that students be required to pass the quizzes with a score of at least 85% or better. Students may retake a quiz as many times as they want to improve their score. Does Searchpath Replace Library Instruction? No! We continue to offer course-related library instruction and hope that you will incorporate a library session into your syllabus.

The Guava tools are designed for those who prefer to write their HTML in a text editor. If you prefer a graphical WYSIWYG environment you should probably look elsewhere. Personally, I use the Guava tools with XEmacs and GNU make. The Guava tools might be of particular interest to C programmers, since the preprocessor directives such as #include and #define are identical to those used in C.
