Google is widely recognized as the best search engine on the Web and is 
heavily used to locate health and medical information. This course will 
teach you how Google thinks and works to optimize your ability to 
construct effective searches.  You will learn to identify and work with 
Google's many unique features. This hands-on workshop will provide 
exercises, theoretical background, and discussion to give you experience 
with effectively using Google's often mysterious defaults, its unique 
ranking algorithm, its many advanced search options and tools, its 
potential as an encyclopedic dictionary, its preference settings, and some 
of its special services. Examples and content are focused for researchers 
in the fields of medical and health information.  Approved for 4 
continuing education credits from the Medical Library Association.  The 
instructor is Joe Baker, Program Coordinator at the Teaching Library, 
University of California at Berkeley.
