Project will find this seminar further develops techniques and concepts 
touched on in his articles and FAQs.

This seminar has received considerable praise in Australia and New 
Zealand, 
particularly from its approach - that exceptional internet research is a 
bridge between complex internet technology and experienced library 
science. 
It is also very visual: more than 150 webpages strung together and 
displayed in a way that mimics the process of internet research. Its not 
hard to follow, and does not require great internet experience to 
understand, but will excite those ready for the next step.
