Slide Presentations
This page provides
links to the PowerPoint slide presentations used during formal classroom
training for SiteSearch. They are made available to you here as support
and reference for SiteSearch courses that you may have already taken or
to help you prepare for courses that you are planning to attend. Since
the slide presentations do not include an audio portion, they are not
currently a replacement for formal classroom training. Full classroom
training includes lecture, instructor-led activities, and group exercises
to clarify concepts, procedures, and other information introduced on the
slides.
