The Digital Library and Archives at Virginia Tech has been using 
Ultraseek (and previously Inforseek) for many years. You can search 
our ETDs (electronic theses and dissertations), ejournals, Special 
Collections, news reports, etc. separately or individually. See 
http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/, http://scholar.lib.vt.edu:8765/, 
http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/ejournals/ej-search.html, or
