Last summer, Scott Domanksy and I offered a class at Bio-Med on Extreme Googling, which covered expert searching tips as well as other Google features, such as Scholar, Docs, Books, iGoogle, News, Patents, etc. We realized that this was too much material for one session, so this Fall we are splitting it into two sessions: Extreme Googling: Tips and Tricks for Expert Searching on November 2 and Extreme Googling Productivity Tools for Your Online Life on November 16. The first session will focus more on advanced searching in regular Google, plus Google Scholar, U. S. Government Search, Books and Patents. The second session will focus on things like iGoogle, Docs, Custom Search, Reader, API, Mashups, etc. If you have questions about either of the classes, please see me or Scott.
Extreme Googling: Tips and Tricks for Expert Searching is full. I am, however, keeping a waiting list. Folks can email me directly at hardy017@umn.edu or you can take their name, phone number and x.500 and email them to me. I will notify them if more spaces become available.
Cheers,
Martha
