Right on Target: Using Internet Search Engines Effectively

Search engines are powerful tools providing access to information on the 
Web. But, do you always find what you need? Why do you get different 
results from different engines? Do you know when to use a different 
engine from your usual standby?

Search engines vary considerably in capabilities, content, and quality 
of retrieval. This intermediate to advanced workshop will focus on what 
you as a librarian, media specialist, teacher, or other professional 
need to know about search engines in order to use them most effectively 
to achieve the results you need. To understand how different engines 
deliver different results, the workshop will briefly examine how engines 
work. Search features will be covered along with comparisons of the 
major engines. The usefulness of meta-search engines will also be examined.

Hands-on practice is included and you will receive an extensive manual 
that will continue to serve as a valuable reference guide.

Location: 6101 McKeldin Library, UMD, College Park, MD
Registration Fee: $265 CEUs: .6

What's New in Search Engines

A lot of changes have taken place among Web search engines in the last 
year or two. New search engines (WiseNut and Teoma) have come along and 
some have faded away. Very importantly, search engines such as Google 
and AllTheWeb have greatly enhanced their size, coverage and searching 
functionality.

Are you totally up-to-date on the latest search engines developments? 
This half-day workshop will make sure you are up to speed! It will also 
be very useful for anyone who took the "Right on Target" workshop more 
than a year ago.

Hands-on practice is included and you will receive a manual that will 
continue to serve as a valuable reference guide.

Date: May 29, 2002, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Location: 6101 McKeldin Library, UMD, College Park, MD
Registration Fee: $135 CEUs: .3
