Ohio Web Library

Ohio offers its citizens the Ohio Web Library , a mixture of database results and search results from a curated list of Web sites. An excellent source of reliable information for high school and undergraduate students.

A search that draws data from a number of independent sources is known as a "federated search." Federated search technology generally does not provide a tightly focused set of results because the queries are often limited to a form of keyword search. More precise searching can be done with subject searches in each individual database, but the federated search saves the user time."
