This seminar will start with a brief overview of the evolution of subject access on the Internet and definition of search engine types and will go on to
explore each type in depth. Discussion will focus on selecting appropriate tools for different information needs, discovering search capabilities and making the most of those capabilities as provided by typical
representatives of the various types. Guidelines will be presented for evaluating search engine content, interface, ease of use, functionality, retrieval performance and presentation of results. Concluding remarks will
present strategies for managing multiple search engine access and will look at important new research on subject access to networked information. While the limited time frame means that the seminar will not feature
hands-on experience, a seminar workbook will include ample materials and resources to allow participants to put knowledge to practice in their own workplaces. Examples throughout the seminar will focus on the needs of
corporate information professionals |
