=Internet Databases and Invisible Web Searches=

Venue: L.R.C. computer Lab
The **"visible web"** is what you can find using general web [|search engines]. It's also what you see in almost all [|subject directories]. Historically, the **"invisible web"** referred to what you could not retrieve ("see") using these types of tools.  It used to be that the following pages were part of the invisible or deep web and regular search engines didn't pick them up as they crawled their way through cyberspace. Fortunately, this has changed and they can now be found in the results of most search engines.
 * Pages in non-HTML formats (pdf, Word, Excel, PowerPoint), now converted into HTML.

===At the same time that many invisible web search engines or subject directories search through all that extra information, they are also focusing their searches, narrowing down the hits to information that is reliable. Some Examples of Free online Databases or subject directories which help you search the Invisible Web.===
