Search engines, government and official information sources, and the EU regulatory environment are continually changing. All of these affect how we search and the information that is presented to us. In some cases information may be deliberately excluded from our results. This one day workshop will look at what’s new, key resources for business and official information, and how to use search tools to ensure you are picking up everything that you need. There will be time for practical sessions so that you can try some of the exercises provided, or experiment with your own searches. Lunch and refreshments are included.
Topics covered include:
- effect of EU legislation on research and due diligence
- increase in official open data – accessibility, quality, usability
- changes to Google and other search tools, and their impact on research
- starting points, evaluated listings and government sources
- company information: official sources; free open data sources worldwide; companies that repackage official company information – pros and cons
- news sources and alerting services
- the value of social media and professional networks for business intelligence
- statistics, market and industry data
