Advanced Google and Beyond: Find the Information You Need!
Online -- October 1 - 31, 2008
Everybody googles, but few have learned to use the full research
capabilities of the Internet or the myriad of commercial, nonprofit and
governmental sources that are there for the looking and learning. Open
your eyes to the greater possibilities of Internet Research in this
seminar conducted by an outstanding Internet research authority. While
Google is an excellent search engine, it is rarely used to best
advantage. Expert researcher Amelia Kassel will bring you to the next
level of finding information for business, science, health, technology
and environmental issues. Beyond discovering how to get the most from
Google, you will be introduced to specialty search engines, sites and
portals. You will learn how expert searchers conduct searches, and where
they find quality information. Kassel will also cover such vital topics
as how to evaluate a website, and how to stand clear of hoaxes and bad
information.
