The changing landscape of search: essential new tools for finding information

The changing landscape of search: essential new tools for finding information - "The major search engines are playing leap-frog in an effort to out-do each other with new search features. Google is personalising everyone's search. Bing is taking over Yahoo. Exalead Labs is busy experimenting with new approaches to search. Image search options are expanding: creative commons, colour, similar images. More specialist search tools for the 'hidden web' are emerging, and social networks and Web 2.0 are now an essential part of the search mix. This workshop will look at the new services that are emerging and how to use them effectively to find relevant information" - 14 July 2010 - Manchester, UK - Course Presenter: Karen Blakeman
