AQ ParticipantsGetting into the Laurier Library

Isn’t everything available for free on google?

No.

Google gives free access to the surface web

But most of the Internet is in under the surface…

… in the deep web

Normally, you have to pay to access the deep web

But the Laurier Library pays the fee so students can access the deep web for free

What is in the deep academic web?

Peer-reviewed journal articles

Hidden search engines

Electronic books

Primary sources

Research data

Videos

Music

And more…

Proquest’s “ERIC” is a special search engine

It searches just for education articles in the deep academic web
