Calling all serious web searchers! Do you need to stay up to date on 
important web search developments and tools, but can't find the time? 
Here's a great way to catch up on the latest and most important web search 
news without leaving your desk! Web search expert Rita Vine will cover the 
most important web search news and developments for librarians and 
experienced searchers. In her session, Rita will cover a grab bag of new 
resources (all free), specialized search tools, and important news about 
web search, designed to give you a quick update on the most important 
changes that affect web searching. You'll gain unique insights, save 
valuable time, and have a chance to hear one of North America's leading web 
search specialists sift through the news and inject her own expert views 
into this complex topic.

This session is designed for anyone who uses search engines and other web 
search tools to find information. It's not necessary to have advanced 
skills in web searching, although some experience in using advanced search 
templates of the major search engines will be a benefit. The session is 
also designed for those who are interested in new developments in the 
business of search engines, and who want to stay informed about business 
factors that can affect information seeking and results.
