From the University of California, Santa Barbara, Voice of the Shuttle is a directory that provides access to scholarly websites for research in the humanities.

You can browse through links by subject area (Art & Art History, Gender Studies, Literature, Media Studies, etc.) or you can search Voice of the Shuttle for a topic such as Zora Neale Hurston.

The advanced search in Scirus.com allows you to limit your search to specific types of science information (conference proceedings, patents, scientists' homepages, etc.) or by subject area (life sciences, social and behavioral sciences, etc.)

Scirus will rewrite your search, if using different syntax will likely provide you with better results. Most searches in Scirus will also display related keywords that you could use to refine your search.

Example: A search in Scirus for string theory will give you a list of results from the web and science journals (many of which require the subscription access that Tisch Library provides for selected journals), along with other keywords like "black holes", "cosmology", and "superstring theory."
