PTFS featured in SLA Federated Search Course
Federated Search Expert, Helen Mitchell, will be teaching two Federated Search Seminars during SLA 2010 in New Orleans, LA. As part of these seminars, PTFS will be highlighted as one of the Federated Search implementers and experts. The seminars, topics, and times are as follows:
Federated Search, Part 1: Evaluation and Assessment Methodology for Success
Saturday, 06/12/2010 8:00AM -12:00PM
In this age of “information explosion,” quickly finding the most relevant information is a huge challenge for information professionals (IPs). With a tidal wave of information technologies to choose from, IPs often lack the expertise to select the best solution to increase content findability. Consider a federated search (FS) system or methodology that can quickly search your subscription databases and unstructured content sources.
Federated Search, Part 2: Selecting and Implementing an Effective Solution
Saturday, 06/12/2010 1:00PM - 5:00PM
Current and emerging search technologies can foster information sharing, collaboration, networking and feedback. Finding the most relevant information in a timely manner challenges information professionals due to a lack of enterprise-wide federated search (FS) solutions. If you want a better understanding of what federated search is, how to collect these specialized requirements, develop a “Request for Info” (RFI) and a “Request for Proposal” (RFP) and learn how to evaluate federated search products to meet your organizational needs, this course is for you!
Mrs. Mitchell has over 30 years experience with enterprise search, information management, application systems design and development, metadata management, nomenclature and governance methodologies, program management, and multi-million dollar procurements of IT services, software and hardware during her time with the Department of Health & Human Services.
