Advanced Internet Research

"A Short Course for Professionals"

Everybody Googles, but few of us have learned to use the full research capabilities of the Internet or the myriad of commercial, nonprofit and governmental sources that are there for the viewing and learning.

Open your eyes to the greater possibilities of Internet Research in this Seminar conducted by an outstanding Internet Research Authority.

You won't want to miss this Professional Seminar!

Presenter: Amelia Kassel, President, Marketing Base, Market and Competitive Intelligence Research, and the San Jose State University instructor for its courses in Advanced Internet Research

Amelia Kassel holds a Master of Library Science degree and conducts seminars and workshops, worldwide, on Internet research for business, legal and medical groups and for associations and conferences.  She is the author of Super Searches on Wall Street and writes for information industry publications.

While our technological goal is to provide "anytime and anywhere access to the Internet for everyone" our fundamental purpose is to provide our students and customers with practically unlimited access to the Internet's information resources.  This is your opportunity to learn just how wide and how deep those resources can be.

In this 2-1/2 hour seminar, Amelia Kassel will focus on the advanced capabilities of Google and on the topics and the information sources that are most relevant to our enterprise.

Register now for NEBSA/NIA 2008 and to reserve your place in this seminar with your copy of Ms. Kassel's presentation that includes space for your program notes.

Making Instructional Media "Sticky"

Presenters: Joann Flick, Marketing and Training, AIT and Gwen Gerber, President, bioMedia Associates
