Holistic Internet searching: improving the quality of web search results

 
 

Date: Tuesday 14 June 2005
Time: 6 for 6.30 pm
Venue: The Sekforde Arms, Sekforde Street, London EC1 Speaker: Alison Stacey (WebInfoPro)

Alison will outline her reasons for setting up a company to help users understand the 'hows' and 'whys' of everything to do with finding information on the Web.

She will also present a brief overview of searching from a process perspective, focusing, in particular, on information-quality issues: how to enhance quality from the initial analysis of requirements through to the interpretation of data retrieved from the Internet. Finally, Alison will give examples of the ways in which automation can be used to improve the different aspects of searching.

Alison Stacey was an Information, Learning and Technology Advisor at Cambridge Regional College prior to setting up WebInfoPro Cambridge. With her husband, Adrian, she has recently written a book on 'future-proofed' web searching.
