SLA Conference
San Antonio, Texas
News researchers are generalists who need to be experts in all areas, most often in deadline situations. This session provides news researchers the best sources to use for efficient research on specific topics from the experts in their respective fields.
Speakers from other SLA divisions will give their perspective on the best tools of their trade. The topics to be covered include: legal, business/finance, telecommunications, transportation, military and pharmaceutical/health technology.
In addition presenters from each division will be given several real news research scenarios and will be prepared to walk the news researchers through the process live during the session.
