  Abreu, Elinor. [7]"Diving into the Deep Web" [8]The Standard
    (September 4, 2000)
    (http://www.thestandard.com/article/display/0,1151,18134,00.html). -
    In a brief overview of a couple of companies Abreu brings to light an
    issue that librarians have worried about for a number of years -- how
    to locate information that is contained deep within web-based
    databases. Most search engines will not search within databases, or as
    Abreu calls it, "the deep Web." A recent survey suggests that there
    may be 550 billion documents in the deep web. Now there are a number
    of companies developing products that will search multiple databases
    on the web, especially because the cost of indexing has been falling.

"And if governments will not act, then this is a matter on which
people must act to secure a government that will.The dignity and
self esteem of Australia at some point will demand it."
