SPECIAL SEARCH ENGINES
20010319
Not everything is available on the Internet
- most high quality, offline content cannot be found in full text on the
web. Search engines have various strengths and weaknesses. Special,
expensive, databases exist that provide full text searchability of propietary
offline and online content. One of the easiest (and cheapest)
ways of searching c.7100 business related periodicals
is through the NorthernLight.com search engine.
Each search returns citations and summaries
of offline content. Accessing the full text content is only available
at a cost (or a trip to a well supported library;-).
For a simple fee, NorthernLight provides the full text of specified search
returns directly to the searcher. The company refers to this as it's
"Special Collections documents" and explains under the Member Account Setup
that "You can purchase Special Collection documents from over 6,900 publications
on a pay-per-document basis with most articles priced between $1 and $4."
Combined with a well organized return
of free online content of there formidable web search engine, NorthernLight.com
is one of the most powerful and useful search engine / reference tools
on the Internet. |
