deepdyve
As a doctoral student in nursing informatics I’m very interested when a new search tool comes out. I saw an article about deepdyve on Google news.

I gave it a try.

I don’t have anything positive to report so far. I tried searches on “personal health records research”, “personal health records”, and “PHR”. All searches took a long time to complete. All searches returned NO results. deepdyve’s email giving me my username and password says I would be able to, ”…access the wealth of untapped information that resides in the ‘Deep Web’.” If the results deepdyve returned on my subject of interest are what is available in the “Deep Web”, I guess I better stay on the surface for now.

Update: I received an email a couple days after I saw the original story. It explained that high demand caused several users to get no results. I did go back and try another search. It may be a good tool after you learn how to use it, but it does look like there is a bit of a learning curve.
