OAIster - Search the Deep Web
Google can't find everything! OAIster (pronounced "oyster") allows you to search the "deep web" to find documents and more that Google misses. We've added it to our A-Z list of databases or click here to access directly. Searching is straightforward and even allows you to limit by format (text, image, etc.)
You can also learn more about OAIster by reading our blog entry here.
As always, you can always ask a librarian if you need additional help.
