Intute was a free Web service aimed at students, teachers, and researchers in UK further education and higher education. Intute provides access to online resources, via a large database of resources. Each resource is reviewed by an academic specialist in the subject, who writes a short review of between 100 to 200 words, and describes via various metadata fields (such as which subject discipline(s) it will be useful to) what type of resource it is, who created it, who its intended audience is, what time-period or geographical area the resource covers, and so on. In July 2010 Intute provided 123,519 records. Intute's Faq says : "Following Intute's closure in July 2011, the website will remain available for three years. However the site will not be maintained or updated, and no additional resources will be added"
Intute was formed in July 2006 after the merger of the eight semi-autonomous "hubs" that formed the Resource Discovery Network (RDN). These hubs each served particular academic disciplines:
If Nathan won't do it
If Tom won't do it
And Jay won't do it
Then go for Siva's model pout instead
If Max didn't hide it
If Nathan didn't hide it
Then why can't I find it
All the guys have tried it on now
And looked wrong somehow
So I'm getting my pout ready
Getting my pout ready now
It's a band photo
We gotta get into a nice straight row
Hope you can't see the creases and they've ordered the pizzas
Being a heart-throb ain't easy you know
Guess what time we get up, get up now
Cause Max won't wash it
and Jay won't wipe it
Don't mean to drop it
But cleaning just drives us out
of our heads
When I'm handed pictures to sign and I'm trying to be patient
But girls all go berserk for their screaming adoration
Because they say it helps it's to maximize flirtation but I must get back to this shoot
This bit's slow mo, then we get back into a nice straight row
As our fame increases, schedules on press releases
And so our fans already know (pause) exactly where to go now
I wonder if I'll be the solo star, but I'm worried if I do depart
Then my place in the band will go
and it'll break up our nice straight row
row row row row row
We're all standing
slow mo slow mo slow mo
It's a band photo, we gotta get into a nice straight row
How you can't see the creases and they've ordered the pizzas
Being a heart-throb ain't easy you know
