Desktop Search Tools - Managing the Flight Deck
The information profession struggles on a day-to-day basis to keep up to
date with innovations and shifts in new technologies for smarter
searching. The focus, often, is on the need to retrieve and assimilate
external information and data. In the mean time, our personal digital
files and internal local resource base tends to fall into neglect. The
focus on efficient information management is now moving to the desktop,
where different types of information stored or accessed locally needs to
be organised and searched just as effectively. The desktop has developed
into a flight deck where everything the pilot needs to know is displayed:
be it routine flight information, autopilot routines, the tricky landing
and take-off or the all-important emergency procedures.
The key for both the pilot and the desktop user is to be able to access
the right information at the right time, and to distinguish the vital from
the nice-to-know. Desktop access to vast amounts of in-house data, as well
as access to the intranet and external resources means that effective
searching, as well as good design of the desktop screens, is essential.
Numerous desktop search solutions tease us with the promise that they can
help to organise and find information on the desktop PC as well as across
the corporate network. This meeting will look at some developments in
desktop searching and some of the tools that are available and will give
you the opportunity to share your experience of such tools. It will be a
practical and informative day that will help improve your personal
information management skills and enable you to lay your hands, quickly
and efficiently, on that long lost file that you ferreted away for digital
posterity way back in…
