CiG October seminar: Seeking out the hidden web You are going nuts because you can positively remember seeing the data you need on a web page a few months ago, but can you find it now? No! An even worse scenario: you haven't a clue if the information is out there and you've tried umpteen combinations of search terms, search engines, databases etc. Is it part of the invisible web? Does it exist at all? Should you just give up? Karen Blakeman will explain the many reasons why information can be "hidden" from view and the techniques you can use to uncover it, finishing off with a list of top Tricks 'n' Tips. Speaker Karen Blakeman has been a freelance consultant for many years, providing a wide range of organisations with help and advice on how to use the Internet more effectively. Previously she worked for the international management consultancy group Strategic Planning Associates and in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. Karen provides training courses on finding and using information, managing information overload, and how the latest technologies can be used to benefit users and their organisations.
