Advanced Google and Beyond: Find the Information You Need!
Online -- October 1 - 31, 2008
Cost: $250 (Simmons GSLIS Alums $200)
PDPs: 15

Everybody googles, but few have learned to use the full research 
capabilities of the Internet or the myriad of commercial, nonprofit and 
governmental sources that are there for the looking and learning. Open 
your eyes to the greater possibilities of Internet Research in this 
seminar conducted by an outstanding Internet research authority. While 
Google is an excellent search engine, it is rarely used to best 
advantage. Expert researcher Amelia Kassel will bring you to the next 
level of finding information for business, science, health, technology 
and environmental issues. Beyond discovering how to get the most from 
Google, you will be introduced to specialty search engines, sites and 
portals. You will learn how expert searchers conduct searches, and where 
they find quality information. Kassel will also cover such vital topics 
as how to evaluate a website, and how to stand clear of hoaxes and bad 
information.

Faculty: Amelia Kassel is President and owner of MarketingBase, a firm 
specializing in industry, company and competitive and market
