Featured No-Cost Publication – How to Search Self Teaching PowerPoint Series
A gift to the Centre for Search Research (CSR) from the estate of Frank Parker made this ‘how to search’ series of self teaching modules possible. Additionally, the estate provided funding for the SAR Alliance website. The mission of the SAR Alliance is to foster the free exchange of SAR information and innovations. The word “free” is also inherent in the mission statement. These self teaching modules and all information provided by the SAR Alliance is free. The free exchange and use is encouraged.
