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.
