[OPLINLIST] Glen Horton Program for CO-ASIS&T: Getting Results With Google

[Patricia Furney]

Please join us on Tuesday, May 13th for this Spring CO-ASIS&T program:

"Getting Results With Google"

Featuring Glen Horton, Technology Coordinator and Assistant Director of Southwest Ohio and Neighboring Libraries (SWON).

We use Google on a daily basis:  it's simple interface and page-ranking make it a great search engine.  However, there is much more to Google than just simple keyword searching.  In this session, Glen will discuss some of the lesser-known ways to get better results from your searches, including some of the features, tricks and hacks that make Google more than just a search engine.

Glen will demonstrate how to...
-  use special operators to enhance search results
-  use Google's built-in dictionary, calculator, unit converter, phone book, and more
-  get stock, weather, flight, movie, and package tracking information
-  translate web pages from other languages
-  search Google from your phone, instant messenger, and more

Join us for an informative (and entertaining) look at our favorite search engine.  Register for this Free program with Ginny Browne at:
