En av de största diatom databaserna finns nu på webben. .. "Researchers can now access one of the largest diatom databases on the Internet. With a current size of approximately 300,000 preserved samples and 80,000 microscope slide preparations, the collection is invaluable for science. Diatoms are unicellular photosynthetic organisms that occur both in marine and in freshwater environments. They are an important part of the food chain, and represent useful indicators for ecological and climatic change. Their unique feature is a cell wall constructed of silicate organized in a characteristic structure. Diatoms are classified according to this structural pattern of the walls."

Internet Search Engine Update: "Amazon has entered the search field in a big way with the introduction of its 'Search Inside the Book' program. For publishers that have allowed their books to be included, the full text of the book content is searchable. Covering over 120,000 books, the 'inside the book' matches show after title and author matches. These are marked as 'excerpt from page . . . ' and clicking on one will show a graphic of the matching page. Searchers can view two pages forward and back from the matching hit, but you must have an Amazon account and log in to view the pages. While this can be a significant information resource, Amazon is using it to try and sell more books rather than create a database for searchers. Search features are quite limited, and in response to concerns raised by the Authors Guild, the images are no longer easily printable. " Testa själv på Amazon
