I found these images, one, two, when I typed in "tent" in the "search all fields" field and selected image as resource type. The site is OAIster, which is a digital library, which has 3,273,233 records from 301 institutions. Its my new magic eight ball. (via)

I have used that site often for off-beat and interesting things...it is indeed a fine place to go to seek the offbeat, unusual etc and to come up with surprises.

Wow, what a cool resource. I found the wording of their mission a little funny: Our goal is to create a collection of freely available, difficult-to-access, academically-oriented digital resources So, they're going to *try* to make it difficult to access? :) Great post.

Yes! I recently blogged about how difficult it was to find and access scholarly information without access to a school that subscribes to a large number of databases. Even when things are republished elsewhere traditional search methods like google are lacking for this type of information retrival. I'm glad to see someone agrees. Now, if only those $$$ databases would allow access for personal use, the world would be perfect.

Hmm. The first result of a search for "blah" is A Generic Collapse Result for FO + poly Extended with a Connectivity Predicate. Sounds about right.
