HighBeam Stocks Virtual Library

Looking to fill the gap between Google and Lexis-Nexis, HighBeam now extracts information from the Columbia Encyclopedia, as well as two dozen other publications like specialized encyclopedias, dictionaries, almanacs, a thesaurus and others.

Users can search reference materials individually, or as part of a wider search of Web sites, journals and newspapers and other sources.

The move comes shortly after the company added an option for searchers to find biographical and contact information on 20 million corporate executives and managers.
