Many people are unaware that most of the authoritative information accessible over the Internet is invisible to search engines like AltaVista, HotBot, and Google. This invaluable material resides on "The Invisible Web," which is largely comprised of content-rich databases from universities, libraries, associations, businesses, and government agencies around the world.

Authors Chris Sherman and Gary Price—two of the world's leading Invisible Web experts—are on a mission to save you time and aggravation, and help you succeed in your information quest. In this unique book, they introduce you to top sites and sources, and offer tips, techniques and analysis that will let you pull needles out of haystacks every time.
