25th August 2009

"This month’s folio is for those times when you can’t find what you need using Google. It includes articles with practical tips for selecting and using some alternative search engines – those specialised, but lesser-known tools for uncovering hard-to-find information on the web. You’ll also find some articles for those times when what you need can’t be found on the web"
- Marcy Phelps, FUMSI Contributing Editor: Find

Total pages: 61
