The phone's ringing, there's a line at the desk, and you're trying to:
--Find current gas price averages for California metropolitan areas.
--Check to see if a particular acupunturist is licensed by the state.
--Discover the rules on embalming.
--Help a patron identify a pill based on its description.
Increasingly, these types of questions can be quickly answered via the
Internet.
Workshop Description: This all-day hands-on workshop will teach you the
tools to mine the Internet for quick, on-site answers to questions that in
the past you couldn't answer or had to refer elsewhere. It will focus on
the ins and outs of using the Librarians' Index to the Internet as your
online ready reference desk and discovering and accessing the many
specialized databases on the Internet that don't get indexed by the search
engines.
Highlights: Using hands-on exercises, a packet of handouts and a specially
prepared bookmarks file (that you'll take home with you on a disk), this
workshop will cover the following topics:
Specialized Databases Search Tools:
--Librarians' Index to the Internet
--Direct Search Page
--Search Systems
Specialized Databases for questions on topics such as:
--Consumer Information
--Education
--Employment
--Genealogy
--Legal forms
--Statistics
