Course Outline
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, Googles 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
Googles 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.
There are further courses later in the year, too:
