Abstract

As a researcher of medical equipment, my job is to provide informational support to engineers and architects who build healthcare facilities. Because the information requested is technical and specific, it is often times not available by performing searches on the World Wide Web. In order to perform the job and fulfill information requests, it is often necessary to search in deeper levels of the Web. This paper reflects upon the experiences and practices that I have developed which utilize traditional and current technologies.
