What else is out there?
Opens sources apart from the WWW! Where many assume that the Internet is (almost) the same as the World Wide Web, the Internet has more to offer than just that. Criminals and terrorists may well hide and communicate in uncovered areas such as IRC, NNTP, FTP, etc. A good understanding of the global information landscape, especially with the Internet, is essential for serious open source researchers. An open source researcher does not think Google, an information professional thinks sources. The workshop will give a structured overview of all information available via the Internet that you will not find in the WWW. You will find out that Google in reality does cover only a fraction of what is out there. In addition, the Deep Web will be discussed and looked into. Tools and software will be given as well.
This workshop is ideal for: information business, librarians, archivists, information professionals, security officers, law enforcement, analysts, journalists etc.
Date: Friday 5-2-2021 | Time: 9.00 – 12.30 AM & 16.00 – 19.30 PM CEST | Price: € 150 | Maximum of 20 participants
