GOING BEYOND GOOGLE TM - NEW
25 October 2005, London
GoogleTM is an excellent search engine but even it cannot include the whole set of Internet information resources in its cache. This isn't because of slack searching by GoogleTM but rather because, amongst other reasons, there are significant technological problems in bringing copies of certain materials back to the cache. However, for library and information professionals this "invisible" material is often of high quality.
BENEFITS OF ATTENDING
We need to go beyond GoogleTM both for the "invisible web" and other search engines, which offer different functionality appropriate for specific types of information requirement. This workshop will show you some of the pathways. It will not dislodge GoogleTM as your search engine of choice but will highlight alternative approaches to GoogleTM for specific enquiries.
BY THE END OF THE EVENT PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE:
* an understanding of Google's limitations
* knowledge of other useful search engines
* an understanding of the Invisible Web - what search engines can't find easily
* an appreciation for other information discovery tools as Internet resources.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Anyone from any sector who mainly, or exclusively, uses GoogleTM and thinks that they might be missing something elsewhere. Also those who have attended Getting the most out of GoogleTM.
