Explores the world of the Invisible Web--Internet resources unavailable through traditional search engines-- and offers tools and strategies for students and teachers to uncover and utilize these specialized databases.
Devine, (Library Chair, LaGuardia College, Queens) and Egger-Sider (Coordinator of Technical Services, LaGuardia College, Queens) explore the world of the "Invisible Web," mining valuable information from resources that are inaccessible through traditional search engines. The authors estimate that the Invisible Web is 500 times the size of its "visible" counterpart, and they offer tools and strategies for students and researchers for uncovering these specialized databases. This book also provides step-by-step tutorials on how to introduce these resources to classrooms and libraries through the use of sample objectives and condensed lesson plans.
