HighBeam Research is a search engine with a unique feature, their library search. It allows you to search documents, images and reference services. So this search limits your results to newspapers, magazines, journals, transcripts, maps, encyclopedias, dictionaries and almanacs. They have over 3000 sources for their library search to draw from. In my brief trial of the search, I found many great results that could easily be used for report writing and speeches. Much more specific than Google or Yahoo, this is the search to use when you want current articles on a subject that you can point people to via a URL.
