What Search Engines Miss Once you have searched the Web for information and sifted through hundreds of Web pages, you may be tempted to think you have found all there possibly could be to find on your topic. In a recent paper on the impact of the Internet on publishing in Construction Engineering, it was reported that "students writing M.Sc. thesis at the author's institutions nowadays use almost exclusively material available for free on the Internet as references to their work"1 Don't let this be you! If you use Internet search engines as your only research aid, you will miss valuable resources that are not freely available to the general public but are accessible to you as a student at UT Austin! Internet search engines won't retrieve journal article or conference paper information found in the subject specific indexes and full-text databases that the library pays to access. Search engines also won't tell you what items are available in our libraries. You may even have missed some of the freely available reference resources on the Web. The next section of our information session will highlight these and other services available to UT Austin students through UT Library Online, the Web site for UT Austin libraries. 1 Björk, Bo-Christer and Turk, Z.
