- Northern Light was
created by librarians, according to Lillian Brazin (see below). Has
two useful features: organizes search results into folders, and lets
you save searches and get alerts when it finds new resources that
match your search. You can also order some full-text articles from
restricted journals for a fee

University. She has been building this list for some time, based on
the earlier work of a colleague and on her own experience helping
researchers identify funding sources. It is particularly strong on
