We have so many great research tools in our database. In the children's department it is very helpful to guide the children and their parents to the following sites to assist in their homework assignments:
America the Beautiful
Encyclopedia Americana
Lands and People Online
Kentucky Encyclopedia: This one is wonderful for the different age/grade levels who have to study Kentucky History. I enjoy looking through this (and the hardcopy as well) to learn more about the state and to identify information that I might have forgotten that I knew about our UNcommonwealth.
Google is a great resource to use as far as being able to do quick searches, knowing all the while that the results may not be the BEST, but it might suffice. I also like the fact that the kids can put their document on Google Docs and save it should they be without a flashdrive.
