The University of Missouri has made the OCLC (Online Computer Library Center) SiteSearch WebZ evaluation system available on the Web.

Searchable databases include Current Contents, Expanded Academic Index, Legal Resource Index, and Business Index. Searching can be done on title keyword, author phrase, subject keyword, or journal title phrase.

Boolean searching and powerful proximity searching are available. Inverted indexes of each searchable field dictionary are also available. The help files are crucial to exploiting the power of the searching system, as they explain basic searching, broadening and refining searches, and the indexes available for searching in each database. Using the indexes allows searchers to construct much more powerful searches. All help files are located under "Help" on any search page. For additional information about the databases, click on "Descriptions of the databases and what the contain" after you begin searching. Note that the University of Missouri specifically states that this an "initial implementation," which means that it is a beta offering. However, the quality of the databases, as well as the power of the searching system, make this site worth a visit: http://sequoia.lso.missouri.edu:4300
