Have you ever returned to the office after a few days away only to find that your inbox is overflowing and you have no idea what is urgent and what is junk?

Does your email control you rather than the other way around?

Have you ever tried to locate a key document only to find that there are four different versions on your PC and you haven't a clue which is the definitive version? Or you can’t find it because you can’t remember where you filed it? And what on earth did you call it when you saved it?

Are your news alerts in danger of becoming "old news" because just can't face ploughing through the dross for one tiny but extremely valuable speck of gold?

Does checking up on changes to competitors and clients web sites bore you to tears?

If the answer to any of these is yes, then this course is for you.

• taming your inbox
• dealing with spam and how not to get it in the first place
• using news feeds (RSS) to reduce overload and improve effectiveness
• how to find information more quickly - key search techniques
• alternative - and better! - sources of information
•  web page monitoring services

The main course presenter is Karen Blakeman.
