IJW - Computer Assisted Research

Earlier, with Sam Sole, we used CAR for deed searches, company searches (trading status, credit record and directors), also credit searches and finding people's credtors. This was a fascinating session and opened up resources on the Internet, most available at no or little cost.

Now Tara Turkington of Flow Communications, as part of the CAR segement of the workshop, is unpacking bookmarking for journalistic purposes: flickr, facebook, stumbleupon, digg, twitter and youtube among others.
