direct search is a growing compilation of links to the search interfaces of resources that contain data not easily or entirely searchable/accessible from general search tools like Alta Vista, Hotbot, and Infoseek. While general search tools are essential for retrieval of Internet materials many users do not realize that large amounts of information are not easily searchable via these tools. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Finally, please note the new section of links to the other compilations I maintain.
direct search has EXPANDED
THREE additional sections of direct search are NOW contained on SEPARATE pages. 
Archives and Libraries (including several major catalogs) and Bibliographies/Bibliographic Aids are located on a new page.  A collection of resources from individual U.S States and Cities has also been moved.
