UKeiG Sponsored Webinar - Advanced Commands for Effective Information Retrieval

Posted By John A. Wickenden, 26 March 2020
UKeiG, the UK e-information Group, is delighted to announce the third in a series of one-hour UKeiG webinars free to all UKeiG and CILIP members.
At 12.30 pm on Wednesday 22nd April 2020, Karen Blakeman will present an "Advanced Commands for Effective Information Retrieval."

The increasing use of AI by the search engines does not always generate better results. This presentation will look at the key commands that are needed to improve relevance, what is still available in the major search tools,  and how to use the commands for more effective information retrieval.

Karen Blakeman is an experienced online researcher and trainer. She provides training and consultancy on how to use the web and social media as research tools, and how to identify and assess the quality of resources. She is a regular speaker at seminars and conferences and also a freelance researcher, providing a range of services including due diligence. Past and present clients include academia, investment and financial services companies, organisations in the food industry, NHS trusts, trade/professional bodies, public libraries, and local and central governments.

The webinar, hosted in collaboration with CILIP as part of its popular Webinar Wednesdays initiative, is also open to non-members for £25 + VAT.

Hi John. Unfortunately I was too late to register, and therefore I wondered if the recording will be made available for CILIP members at some point please?
