Search skills - not just for students !

I already felt that search skills were important for students, and if anything, even moreso for teachers and staff because without the ability to limit and specify what you search for, how can you critically evaluate the quality of the information you find ?  I learned how to limit searches, find resources helpfully created by others and how to save myself $600 on airfares (thanks !!).  But what I mostly learned is that I need time.  If "you just need to play around with it" is the key, I need to try and find that time in my day.  Because it's not there now and not having the time to explore beyond the nuts and bolts of I.T that are essential for my job means I am not developing flexibility in I.T use....and that's the real reason I joined this after school class.....
