What we do - Online research
Last exit anywhere?
Haven't we all heard about the enorm resources
of knowledge on the internet? That world's knowledge was stored
there? That you could find anything you wanted on the information
super highway? Well, might be ... but where can I find a ramp
that takes me onto the highway? And how can I prevent myself
from beeing run over by someone who really knows how to handle
all this?
Searching CD-ROM-catalogues and databases,
the World Wide Web, newsgroups and FTP-servers, already belongs
to every day work of journalists. But for effectively searching
the net it is definetly not enough to know how to open a new
browser window.
You should know the difference between
mailinglists and newsgroups, what a URL tells you about the
technical design of a server, or if you better search with
a catalogue or a full-text-search engine. Knowing how to crypt
e-mails or where to look up the owner of a certain domain
name in many cases already makes you a specialist in the editorial
board. And: who doesn't want to be wellknown for some skills
we can easily teach you in the online research seminar?
The trainings last from one to five days
