Deep Web 2.0 by Paula Younger
Friday 5th of September 1-5pm
Information Skills Room,
Murray Library, University of Sunderland.
Access Code: W
Just about everyone who uses the Internet starts (and ends) with Google.
But what's not so well known is the 'Deep Web': the parts of the Web that
even Google cannot reach.
The majority of the course is hands-on, with time to play and discover the
very tip of the 'Deep Web'/Web 2.0 iceberg.
The course will briefly investigate just what is meant by:
Web 2.0
Wikis, Blogs and RSS: interactive information management
From Friends Reunited to Facebook: social networking sites
Your virtual desktop: social bookmarks and file sharing; online calendars
(delicious esnips)
Time to play: links to blogging software, RSS feeds, Wikis
The Deep Web - What is it? When did it start?
Deep web sites: interacting with the information
Timetables, entertainment listings and dynamic information
Bibliographic databases and library catalogues
Shopping sites - ebay, amazon and froogle
Multimedia (and the importance of metadata)
Paula Younger is a chartered librarian and qualified foreign languages
teacher (though she managed to escape from schools) and now works for the
NHS in Exeter. She has also worked for the Ministry of Defence and a small
private publishing company.
