What Past Attendees Have Said
"Thank you ... for a wonderful class. It was a perfect combination of theoretical grounding and pragmatic real world advice. It gave me just what I wanted: preparation for leading taxonomy and search projects more effectively. The only arguably critical thing I could say is that it was like drinking from a firehose!" -- David Tappan, Consultant C/D/H
