Free Webinar on Power Searching

Power Searching Webinar from American Libraries Live

Power searching is one of those ambiguous terms that has been around the library world for a few years now. Librarians seem to agree that the term refers to the use of web-based search engines for searches that are more direct, advanced, and dynamic than the standard “web search.” Google is even offering free courses—including a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)—on Power Searching!

Regardless of how we define the term, one thing is clear—effective web-searching is not only an essential skill for librarians, it is also an essential skill that we need to be able to teach to our patrons.

On the next episode of AL Live, Thursday, November 12th at 2 PM Eastern, our expert panel will explore the concept of web-searching, both in terms of what it is and how librarians can put it to use.

Tune in for this free streaming video broadcast! You can pre-register here (pre-registration assures you a reminder before the event), or go to www.americanlibrarieslive.org on November 12 at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern) to view.
