Visible versus Invisible Web “Visible Web” (often called
“Surface Web”)Stuff you find via search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.
“Invisible Web” (often called “Hidden Web” or “Deep Web”)
Things not searchable by regular search engines
Think subscription databases

Invisible Web Invisible Web is anywhere from
100 to 500 times bigger than the Visible Web (or even bigger?)

Search engines like Google can’t index the Invisible Web because:
Items found via a queryPasswords

Before recommending, explore Ask these questions of the
database: What type of content is provided? How many publications are included? Years? How frequently is it updated? What navigational tools are provided? Are there tutorials? A help section? Search tips? How are search results displayed? Can I save, email or print articles? RSS feeds? Which students would best be served by this?
These questions and more are on Database Exploration Checklist
