2. FINDING AIDS

   • Alex: A Catalogue of Electronic Texts on the Internet
     Alex allows users to find and retrieve the full-text of documents on the Internet. It currently indexes over 700 books and shorter texts by author and title, incorporating texts from Project Gutenberg, Wiretap, the On-line Book Initiative, the Eris system at Virginia Tech, the English Server at Carnegie Mellon University, and the on-line portion of the Oxford Text Archive. For now it includes no serials. Please note that many of the files referenced are large - greater than half a Megabyte - and may take you a long time to retrieve.
