Sheffield shines

The University of Sheffield website has been awarded top position in the Yorkshire Website Awards. The website, which serves information to users from 105 countries, took honours in the non-profit organisation category.

Christine Sexton, the university's director of corporate information and computing services, said: "Many thousands of people who will never visit Sheffield in person are 'virtual visitors' and gain a good impression of the city through the helfpul information, friendly tone and first-class research they find."
