The Online World Is Your OAIster
As more and more scholarly information is made available online in publicly-available forums, the problem of being able to afford the content you need is gradually giving way to the problem of finding just the content you want. This is where OAIster comes in. OAIster is a search engine created by the University of Michigan's Digital Library Production Service, whose goal is "to create a collection of freely available, previously difficult-to-access, academically-oriented digital resources that are easily searchable by anyone." As of this writing the service indexes over 6,000,000 documents in fields ranging from the humanities to the hard sciences, and is well worth checking out.
