Below is a summary as well as the resources that I mention in my two hour workshop titled “Searching the Internet Using Brains and Bots”. SUMMARY: This fast paced fact filled two hour workshop will cover all the sources you need to know to discover the information you absolutely must have using the Internet as the searching tool. This workshop is designed both for the “newbie” to searching as well as the “advanced” searcher … both will receive significant information jewels that will make their business searching easier and far more productive. If you just thought about searching on the Internet or you are a ‘power” user – this is the one workshop for 2004 that you must attend! Mr. Zillman will also allow time for questions and answers as well as be available immediately following his presentation. SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY: Marcus P. Zillman, M.S., A.M.H.A., Executive Director of the Virtual Private Library™ and International Author/Speaker/Consultant will focus on the sites and tools that you will need to stay current and to find the “real” business information on the Internet. Mr. Zillman brings over thirty years of experience of searching online databases as well as his creation of award winning internet sites such as BotSpot.com, TrademarkBots.com and his latest Subject Tracer™ Information Blogs.
