The archived Webcast (.rm) of Gary Price’s presentation Extreme Searching at the Special Libraries Association 2004 Annual Conference is available. He also has an accompanying handout. He gives an update and mentions some trends in search engine technology, as well as shares tips for better searching. He also reminds us that there’s more to the Web than Google and search engines aren’t the best method for finding many things.

(Around minute 36, he mentions my RSS article. Close to 45 minutes in, he talks about the social network Orkut and the news librarian community there. As he says, Orkut is invitation-only. If you or someone you know would like to be invited, drop one of us a line.)

Addendum 6/19: Lynne points out that the URL for the audio file was incorrect. It is now fixed and should work properly. Ah, yes, the importance of checking links. Don’t worry: it was correct on the Special Libraries Association News Division Web site.
