[LM_NET] TARGET-> Free Online Databases

[Leanna Giesige <library@ISO.BF>]

Fellow LMers. 

 

I am currently teaching a course for 9th graders on Information Skills.  For the 
lessons on online databases I would like to develop a list of the best free online 
databases to be used for research (such as information please almanac, etc).  I 
have several, but I thought I would call upon the collective wisdom of this group 
to provide the best of the best.  If you wouldn't mind sharing some of your 
favorites, along with the URL, I will compile the suggestions and send out a HIT so 
that we can all benefit.  

 

Thanks in advance!
