Immediately BEFORE the AGM .....
"Getting to places
Google can't find: the hidden web revealed"
with Eleanor Whelan
- Google's mission is to ′organise the
world's information and make it universally accessible and useful′. In spite of Google's relentless
information gathering and the retrieval power of its search engine, the
number of quality information resources ′hidden′ from Google is vast.
- Eleanor will explore the resources of
the hidden web, demonstrate their usefulness and suggest ways that you
may be able to get access to them. She will also discuss the role
of Google Scholar and other initiatives in attempting to overcome this.
- Eleanor has spent her life as a
professional librarian finding information for others. The development
of computerised information resources, eventually delivered over the
Internet, transformed time-consuming searches through printed indexes
into a thrilling electronic chase! Eleanor also taught these
information seeking skills to aspiring information managers (formerly
known as librarians). Now she enjoys sharing her knowledge with the
members of PCUG, U3A and nongeeks, while continuing her own learning
journey at every session.
