Web Skills Luncheon: Becoming Adept at Using On-Line Information
Saturday, June 12, 2004
12-1:30 pm

at the AIC 32nd Annual Meeting
Hilton Portland and Executive Towers
Portland, Oregon
June 9-14, 2004

With increasing access to large amounts of information of highly
variable quality, there is a need for practical guidance in
searching the web more efficiently and effectively, accessing
material that is not publicly available (the "invisible" web),
evaluating the source of on-line information, and knowing when not
to use on-line sources. At this special luncheon, Professor and
Reference Librarian Red Wassenich will make a presentation titled
"Incorporating Information Literacy into Conservation: Searching
beyond Google," focused on guidelines and techniques for improving
the web searching skills of conservators. A number of sample
conservation-oriented questions will be researched and extensive
hand-outs will be provided to the audience.

Co-hosted by Book and Paper Group, Conservators in Private Practice,
Electronic Media Group, and Photographic Materials Group, this event
is open to all AIC conference attendees.

Ticket price: $15 (includes box lunch and beverage). Seating is
limited; early registration is suggested.
