Reflection. Week 2. 28 October 2008.

Today we discovered the invisible web which is also known as databases. This is where all the deep information are kept. These web are charged for a small fee in order to have access to them. They are highly authoritative information kept in the form of data. Not only that, they are the information which are more reliable and up-to-date.

Some of the invisible web are the Academic Gateway and Complete Planet.

After attending this lesson, I realised that our school library do have this service too. It allows us to have access to the datas that are actually charged with a fee. Moreover, only staff and student from TP have access to them. They are not available in public search engine. 2 of these are Temask Polytechnic's E-books database ITPRO and the Digital Library Portal Research Gateway.

These invisible web might not be useful in the sense that we might not be able to find what we are looking for. Even though it's reliable and up-to-date. After this lesson, I know about it and will be using it in future for our research.
