Having difficulty finding good quality company information on the internet?
Then you need to attend:
Subject guide to the Internet: company information
A one day Library Association workshop on 15 May, in London
The World Wide Web is an impressive source of company information. Modern
companies are increasingly viewing a Web presence as an important part of
their marketing activities. At the same time, a significant number of
publishers of company information are also taking the opportunity to use the
Web as another distribution channel alongside traditional online and print.
Which sources are most authoritative, most up to date, easiest to use or
most complete? Such questions are important to the busy information
professional who has the responsibility to provide an efficient and
effective information service. The workshop will address such questions and
participants will be encouraged to discuss the sources and add their own
favourites where appropriate.
By the end of the event participants will have:
* explored the key Internet resources for company information
* searched in key sites through a 'hands on' case study approach
* discussed the range and quality of the sources
Who will benefit from attending?
This workshop will be of interest to all those responsible for answering
company information enquiries in libraries or other information units. Basic
keyboarding skills are required and participants will need to have some
experience using the Internet.
This workshop will be very practical, based around seven personal computers,
2 participants per terminal. In order to ensure that each delegate has
significant opportunity to search sources, the number of delegates on this
workshop will be restricted to 14.
Workshop leader: Terry Kendrick, Information Now Ltd.
Terry has been an information and marketing consultant since 1987. He is a
Chartered librarian and a regular Internet user. He has undertaken
marketing projects in sixteen different countries for over fifty large
organisations.
