All about Google: regain control of search
to be held in the
Netskills Training Suite,
Google
is collecting more data and adding more services all the time. For many people
it is the place to start a search but more information and more search features
does not necessarily mean more relevant results. Furthermore, Google’s
automatic personalisation and semantic search all too often adds to the
confusion. This hands-on workshop will look at the latest developments in
Google, how it works, and how you can focus your searches for better results.
Topics
covered will include:
· new developments and services
from Google
· how to narrow down your search
for more relevant results
· how Google personalises your
results – help or hindrance and can you stop it?
· Google and
social media
· essential advanced search commands
· Google’s
specialist tools and databases
· build your own
Google Custom Search Engine
You
will have ample opportunity to experiment and try out the techniques for
yourself and Karen will be on hand to help and advise you. Exercises are
provided to help you test out the search features but you are free to explore
and try out searches of your own.
Who should attend
This
workshop is suitable for all levels of experience. The techniques and
approaches covered can be applied to all subject areas.
