Sciart links and a holiday snap
Some quick links, an unrelated picture and a reminder to sign up for my "search tricks" webinar next month
Just a short mixture today while I battle an onslaught of deadlines. But to make up for it, here’s a photo I took on holiday a few weeks ago. This is the Black Lake (Crno Jezero) in Durmitor National Park in Montenegro.
(Having been on holiday is part of the reason why I’m suddenly so busy! Another reason is that I have a lot of things coming up, including the webinar mentioned later in this issue!)

A reminder that I’m holding a one-time only training on October 28 about searching online. I’ll be presenting a “Fiver Friday” webinar (lunchtime for the UK/Europe), in which I show you how to find everything online (and how to keep on top of interesting topics without being snowed under).
Topics include:
How to target your search (with examples from science!)
Using search filters
Difficult image searches (e.g. old, cropped images)
Searching across different websites and social media tools
Setting up search alerts
