This workshop will address in detail the processes of searching the web. 
We will start with some background information, including a brief 
analysis of the architecture and technologies of search engines. Next, 
we will look at the major players, the rising stars, and the hidden gems 
of the web searching world. This will include detailed investigation of 
search techniques for each tool. Beyond search engines, we will discuss 
tools for uncovering the rich content available in the Invisible Web, 
including portals and directories. We will finish up with a study of the 
role libraries have played in making the content on the web accessible, 
particularly through online ready reference collections and virtual 
libraries.
