This one day workshop concentrates on Internet resources relevant to business
applications, and in particular portals and the so-called "invisible web". The
emphasis will be on pay-as-you-go and free services. The workshop will benefit
anyone who plans to use, or already uses, the Internet for gathering essential
business information. Areas covered will include:
* Key starting points, evaluated listings and portals
* Company information
* Directories
* Newspapers, magazines and news digests
* How to use Usenet and discussion groups effectively
* Official statistics and market data
* Government information and publications, support for SMEs
Throughout the day, there will be practical sessions during which you can work

of notes and a diskette with a bookmark of the sites covered during the day.
