ONE-ON-ONE AND GROUP TRAINING

Have you ever been to a training session and afterwards hoped you'd be able to remember it all? Have you been one of several (or several hundred!) wishing for a more personalized and hands-on learning experience?

We love to train and it shows!
We talk to you before the training session to tailor it to your organization's needs. Our trainers come to your location and teach using your existing library of resources and equipment (or help you build a new library within your budget). We also demonstrate the latest resources and techniques and how to use them effectively. When we leave you'll have targeted handouts, access to web bookmarks and help at the end of the phone line if you choose.

Our standard trainings are especially designed for new researchers and development officers in small or one-person shops. We also create custom research classes. Following are some of the sessions we teach:

Half-day Session: Free and Fee Internet Sources

Tips and Techniques: Using Search Engines
Internet Resources - Why Reinvent the Wheel?
Finding the "Hidden Web"
Push Technology: Where to find it, How to use it
