Do you have just-in-time information that you need a way to track and share? Find out how wikis can help you deal with just-in-time information.

Some can significantly change search strategies and they type of results found. Keeping up with all the changes is a daily task. This seminar wades through all the news, new products, and changes and then highlights the most significant changes at each engine that effects search. Discover what has changed at Google, Yahoo!, Live Search, Ask, Gigablast, Exalead, and any new or upcoming search engines.</p> <p>For more detailed information view the event details at: <a href="http://sla.learn.com/learncenter.asp?page=293">http://sla.learn.com/learncenter.asp?page=293</a></p> 5/9/2008 http://units.sla.org/chapter/ctor/events/default.asp?eid=196 SLA Toronto Chapter Vicki Whitmell will share her succession planning advice. 5/9/2008
