Abstract
A database of English place-names is being developed currently as part of a major research project at the Centre for English Name Studies, University of Nottingham. Although primarily designed as a research tool, the database is also proving useful as a teaching tool. Undergraduate students at the University of Nottingham taking a two-module course on ‘English Place-Names’ are given hands-on experience in using the database and are encouraged to use computerized searching techniques in their own projectwork. Advanced computing skills are not required, but the students learn how to access and retrieve information of various kinds, gaining a better understanding of place-name structures in the process.
