        Direct Search by Gary Price

The List presents a site of inestimable value as a resource for further
exploration and information. The website "direct search", created and
maintained by the distinguished author and librarian at George Washington
University, Gary Price, MLIS, offers an almost unparalleled source for
locating difficult to find material.

"direct search is a growing compilation of links to the search interfaces
of resources that contain data not easily or entirely searchable/accessible
from general search tools like Alta Vista, Google, or Hotbot. Although
these "general" tools are essential for the retrieval of Internet based
data, searchers often fail to realize that a massive amount of information
is not easily or entirely searchable/accessible via these search tools.
Material "hidden" from the general search tools is said to reside on the
Invisible Web." - from the website

This vast compendium of links from one of the foremost authorities in the
field of online databases is an invaluable addition to the reference
section of any bookmark collection. Also included are links to more
information about the Invisible Web.

March to the website for a priceless collection of links to the farthest
corners of the hidden web at:
