Abreu, Elinor. [7]"Diving into the Deep Web" [8]The Standard
(September 4, 2000)

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.

people must act to secure a government that will.The dignity and
self esteem of Australia at some point will demand it."
