The Seattle Times: Personal Technology: Countless levels of data on libraries' Web sites

HEY! This is true in Oklahoma too!
The Seattle Times: Personal Technology: Countless levels of data on libraries' Web sites: "Google, the No. 1 search engine, can't offer all the information we might want from the Internet. In fact, we can't get to some extremely useful information that's on the Net simply by asking Google.
I'm talking about those information-rich databases that are generally expensive and require membership for access.
Public libraries, for example, subscribe to several of these databases and make them freely available to patrons. The databases include full-text newspaper and magazine articles, congressional documents, 'Books in Print,' genealogy records and other resources. Some are accessible only from library computers, but most are searchable by library-card holders from wherever they have Net access."
