TECH BRIEFINGS: Power Googling - Getting What You Want From Google

In this presentation, Nancy Blachman will show you how to select terms and search (more) effectively; how Google interprets your query; what's included with your results; how Google works; how to invoke search operators (aka advanced operators), even undocumented ones; and when Google added services, features, and options (Google's Feature History). Nancy Blachman has been using Google since the spring of 1999, when Google was less than one year old. She has written over a half dozen tutorial and reference books, including "How to Do Everything with Google," "Mathematica: A Practical Approach," "Mathematica Graphics Guidebook," "Mathematica Quick Reference," "Maple V Quick Reference," and "Putting Your Heart Online." She is president and founder of Variable Symbols, a company that specializes in software training and consulting. She obtained a B.Sc. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Birmingham, U.K., an M.S. in Operations Research from the University of California at Berkeley, and an M.S. in Computer Science from Stanford University, where she taught for eight years.
