Northern Light, the world's first research engine, combines the reach of a World Wide Web search engine with access to premium sources previously unavailable to Web searchers. With the addition of the new publications, Northern Light now has over 2,900 premium information sources, making Northern Light s Special Collection one of the broadest, most complete single sources for full-text periodicals on the Internet. Northern Light s Special Collection covers every aspect of contemporary life, health, education, and business. The addition of these new titles moves Northern Light to a new level in terms of our ability to serve the needs of serious information seekers who value having the most data, the best data, and the best tool. Results are prioritized by best match and sorted into Custom Search Folders, which are generated on the fly, to help users narrow their searches.
Subscriptions are also available.
All searching, Web documents, and premium document summaries are free. Northern Light Technology Inc, headquartered in Cambridge MA, introduced its research engine in August 1997.
