Homeland Security Digital Library

The Department of Homeland Security has released an electronic library of sorts, or at least a portal for information for policy issues. It requires a log-in (no gmail or yahoo, please-- you need to prove your academic or professional need for the material), but once you're there, it's free! And, it utilizes a pretty fancy cross-database search engine called SeekOnce (based on a really cool National Library of Medicine developed tool called ToxSeek), which allows you to search in more than once place all at once (get it-- Seek Once?!). Some of the HSDL's functions are available without the log-in,

A review of the library can be found here.
