Trouble deciding whether or not a clause in independent.

"It was certainly a hard book to locate. No library seemed to have it, neither did it turn up in any internet search."

Do I need a comma or a full stop before "neither"?
I can't work out if the clause beginning with "neither" is independent or not.

Ok, so the clause "neither did it turn up in any internet search" isn't independent?
