IRC Presentation on the 25 Secrets on how to do research on the Internet

On Thursday, July 24, 2008 the IRC organized a PowerPoint presentation for the Mano River Women Peace Network (MRWPN) in the IRC. The audience included 21 women from the fields of business, medicine, journalism, and law. The IRC staff talked about the public resources available in the library, including the lending and research library, internet connection, English language laboratory, and periodicals. Then, the staff outlined the 25 secrets of internet research as developed by IRO Stephen Mallinger. The demonstration included how to access reference materials and sites like free online newspapers, the Library of Congress and free online English lessons.  The participants said that the presentation would help them to enhance their professional work and also improve their English language abilities.  The president of the network Dr. Saran Daraba thanked the US Mission for this training and exhorted all participants to derive maximum benefits from the library resources.
