Google researcher to present on information retrieval at next Dixie Forum
Exploring how today’s information searchers can help envision the library of the future, Dr. Daniel Russell will present his thoughts on the future of libraries, online question asking and information search and retrieval at the next installment in Dixie State University’s weekly lecture series Dixie Forum.

In addition to working for Google, Russell blogs at SearchReSearch and teaches online search skills classes and live search classes at libraries around the world. His online course currently hosts 3,000 learners each week.
