SUMMARY:DGS Summer Seminar 2023 - Cyndi Ingle
DESCRIPTION:“Genealogy and the Internet: Successfully Mining the World Wide Web”\nSpeaker: Cyndi Ingle\nGenealogy and the Internet – A Match Made in Heaven – The Internet was made for genealogy. It really was. All the cool things we can do online make our life much easier and our research more productive: searching\, sharing\, publishing\, and more. But the Internet is also filled with pitfalls that hinder us: searching\, sharing\, publishing\, and more. The trick is to learn to be savvy about using all the online tools available to us to make this truly a match made in heaven. \nCyndi’s List in Practice – Sometimes overwhelming to beginners and sometimes underused by veterans\, Cyndi’s List is a research tool that is robust with resources helpful in everyone’s research. Using specific examples for beginners\, as well as more advanced researchers\, we will explore the site and point out how to make the most of the categories and the links found within. \nThe Path to Digital Libraries and Archives – Today every nook and cranny of the Internet is filled with hidden gems in digital library and archive collections. Often part of a special project or a larger web site\, these collections aren’t always easy to find and explore. We will discuss methods for locating them and\, once found\, methods for using them to answer specific research questions. \nSmarter Searching: Refining Search Parameters for Genealogists – Are you still using only the basic search options available on your favorite genealogical research sites? Do you get a lot of less-than-helpful search results? We will explore features and strategies. \n\nRecordings of each session will be available to registered attendees from July 22\, 2023 through August 6\, 2023.
