Internet research and training

According to Cyveillance, the Internet consulting firm, there are more than 6 billion individual web pages on the Internet -- not to mention news groups, chat rooms, message boards, blogs, and the endless flow of e-mail.

Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley have calculated that enough new information was produced in the year 2002 alone to fill half a million new libraries the size of the Library of Congress print collections.

Metaforix can help you meet the challenge of keeping up with the information you need without becoming overwhelmed by what you don't need.

We do this in three ways:

• We offer unique, customized Infomaven Lessons -- Internet search workshops or coaching sessions, accompanied by follow-up e-mail support. The workshops cover principles of effective, efficient web searching, key sites essential to your specific needs, effective use of e-mail to convey and to gather information, and related topics.   Coaching sessions can be tailored even more closely to your individual needs.
  
• We conduct custom research assignments, synthesizing published data and collecting new data to support clients' planning and decision-making. Our resulting reports analyze the data, discuss its implications for your business, and offer recommendations based on the research.
  
  
• We produce print and electronic training materials geared to your specific needs. Alternatively, we evaluate ready-made materials from outside vendors and make recommendations to suit your needs and your budget.
