At 12.30 pm on Wednesday 22nd April 2020, Karen Blakeman will present an "Advanced Commands for Effective Information Retrieval."

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.
