Search Pigeon

Say what you like about Google, but they do provide a plethora of useful tools. One such tool is the ability for interested parties to create custom search engines, search engines that search specific sites that you specify. The library utilises custom search engines, all lovingly created in-house, on its Subject Portals pages. Another example of a customised search engine, and the subject of this post, is Search Pigeon, which specifically searches peer reviewed, open access journals in the humanities (you can look elsewhere, for now, for definitions of "peer reviewed" and "open access journals", suffice to say that these are Good Things). You can search the whole collection or by various sub-disciplines. NB don't confuse Search Pigeon with Pigeon Search, which as the name suggests, is a list of pigeon related resources, and possibly of less interest to DBS students.
