This hands-on lecture laboratory will help you build upon the information learned in the Part I course and help you search the web faster and more efficiently.
You'll become a "Power Searcher" when you learn to use meta-searchers. You'll also find out where you can locate web reviews, and how to use them to evaluate the information in the sites you find. Through structured exercises and plenty of hands-on practice, this workshop will take you one step closer to building an effective web search strategy.
