Want to improve your Internet skills in researching and reporting stories?

We are bringing two Internet gurus to San Diego to present a session on "Beyond Google: Websites and Tools You Shouldn't Live Without." The program will look at the various search engines out there, how to assess a Web site's credibility, useful sites for reporters and the best tools for specific reporting tasks.

The program is free and will be held from 10 a.m. to noon March 25 in the Union-Tribune first-floor auditorium.

Our presenters will be:

Alan M. Schlein, author of "Find It Online: The Complete Guide to Online Research." Based in Los Angeles, he runs DEADLINE ONLINE training for journalists, businesses, law enforcement and government officials on how to use the Internet for research. He'll have several copies of his book for sale, which we think you'll find very useful.

Veteran journalist and educator Neil Reisner. He is an associate professor in the journalism program at Florida International University. He has worked at the Miami Herald, the Bergen Record, the Miami Daily Business Review and the National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting. He also freelances and frequently speaks at journalism conferences in this country and abroad.
