Anything but Google: Karen Blakeman on Thursday, 27 June, 2013 - 09:30 - 16:30 in Newcastle (venue to be confirmed) 
Having problems with Google? Fed up with it deciding to search for something completely different? Suspect it isn't telling you the whole story? You can say "No", and there are times when Google is the worst possible tool for researching a project. There really are other search tools that can give you better results. This workshop will look at non-Google options for searching the web, different types of information and media.
