If you've been reading Web-related magazines or been watching technology-related programs on TV, you've probably heard the phrase "The Invisible Web". If you'd like to know what this mysterious phrase means, and more importantly like to learn how to find the invisible when searching for information, then this course is for you.

Learn how to use the “Invisible Web” and “semi-invisible” web content. Know what is searchable and unsearchable when using search engines and quickly identify unsearchable Web content. In this learn-by-doing class, you will be able to practice identifying searchable and unsearchable information and unveil the mystery of the “The Invisible Web.”

This course is a follow-up course to both the Master Searcher and Web Triage courses. Participants should have taken one of these courses or be thoroughly familiar with Web searching.
