If you are already familiar with web indexes, search engines, and meta-search tools, or have attended previous CAMLS web searching courses, and are ready to take the next step, then this course is for you! The workshop will cover advanced search techniques, field-specific search techniques, and examine every available variation of delivering information to patrons once you've located it. You will be introduced to an exciting new category of search tools-- web agents--which are just beginning to make possible a whole new level of web searching. This hands-on workshop will give you plenty of time to practice in the lab. Join us for a look at the future of web searching!
