Aims of the day
The course is aimed at library & information workers who use the Internet
in the course of their day to day work but don’t feel they are getting as
much as they would like from it. This course aims to address this by
equipping delegates with enhanced search skills and navigation techniques,
as well as practical advice on designing web pages and managing Internet
and Intranet content. There will be plenty of opportunities during the day
for "hands-on" practice and attendees will be grouped by level of internet
experience where relevant.
