Information overload is near, but we're still enjoying the conference! Bought three more books today; let's hope we're finished with the vendor area now.
Dick was impressed with a class on using Excel today; he learned some new tricks for sorting information. We both attended a Google session (generally we plan to see separate classes during each time period--seems like we really get our money's worth that way) that showed us how to improve our "search parameters." Can't wait to try some of the suggestions.
Two geography sessions: one concentrated on Midwest migration with lots of maps to illustrate his points; the other demonstrated GIS (geographic information systems). Think of Howard Mathieson's presentations; this class was similar. Many classes demonstrate difficulties with searching because of name changes, spellings, incorrect records, etc. Best advice: don't stop looking!
