Findability: Taming the Information Scavenger Hunt Speaker: Cheryl Landes, Technical Communications Consultant and Owner of Tabby Cat Communications in Vancouver, Washington Presentation Description We spend as much as 36% of our time looking for information, and more than half of that time, we can’t find the information we need. That’s a lot of wasted time, resulting in great frustration. You can create the most amazing content in the world, but if your users can’t find it, it’s useless. This can be problematic, especially if you’re trying to sell a product or service. Today’s customers want to learn as much as they can about a product or service before they make buying decisions, and they rely on relevant, useful content while considering their options. If they can’t find your content, they’ll look for information written by someone else, or worse yet, your competitors. That means they might even choose to buy a competitor’s product or service based on the quality of the competitor’s content. So, how do you make content findable? To get started, take a look at this presentation. Cheryl Landes, Technical Communications Consultant and owner of Tabby Cat Communications, introduces you to the world of findability, explains why findability is important, and shares tips for allowing your content to be discovered and retrieved whenever and wherever your users need it. She also provides information about the skills you need to succeed in this growing field. About the Presenter Cheryl Landes, a technical communications consultant, founded Tabby Cat Communications in 1995. She has worked in many industries, including computer software and hardware, HVAC/energy savings, marine transportation, manufacturing, retail, and the trade press. She specializes as a findability strategist, helping businesses to organize content so that it flows logically and to make content easier to retrieve digitally and in print.]]>

With the influx of more devices where we can consume information, the volumes of information are multiplying faster than before. And it’s even more difficult to find the information we want or need. Interfaces vary and limit our ability to find information, but other factors are also involved. How can we take advantage of these factors and make finding information easier? Cheryl Landes has some ideas from her experiences of helping people find information for more than two decades. One may even surprise you: incorporating search with indexes!]]>
