Power Searching: Databases and the Hidden Web (Wednesday Webinar)

Power Searching: Databases and the Hidden Web (Wednesday Webinar)

The Hidden Web, also commonly known as the invisible or deep web, are pages that have not been indexed by search engines. They might be websites that have requested not to be indexed or databases that are difficult for search engines to crawl. It is estimated that the content in the deep web is over 500 times greater than what is visible to conventional search engines.

In this webinar, we will explore the depths of the Internet, discussing how to search the Hidden Web and databases, as well as when to choose one over the other.

Rita Gavelis is a technology trainer and consultant with over 25 years of library experience. She has worked in academic, public, and corporate libraries and wore many hats from providing reference and document delivery to supervising technical services. With her broad knowledge of software and web applications, she helps libraries, schools, and small businesses plan for, manage and incorporate new technology into the workflow.
