Invisible Web

The "visible Web" is what you retrieve from general Web search engines (like Google, AltaVista, and NorthernLight.) The results are based on the words or phrases that match the terms you searched with. The "invisible Web" refers to information stored in online databases which are not available via search engines. Whether free or fee-based, the content is not accessible when you search using general search engines. One cannot use a search engine to search through the databases that NYU subscribes to. To access information from these databases, one goes to the individual database entry page and types in search terms using the databases search box.
