Library+and+Research

====This is a very i[|nteresting research guide] for students. Clicking on the picture takes you to a further explanation of the topic. ==== ====And another research guide is at [|All the Information in the Known Universe] from the Kentucky Virtual Library. ====

====Check out [|InstaGrok] a newer search engine for education. It might be an interesting thing to show the kids. It arranges output in a cluster and they can choose the cluster that seems most relevant. ====

====Here's a site for [|books read aloud]. At least this month's is The Very Hungry Caterpillar read by Eric Carle. ====

====And a [|very informational site]you may already know about--for teaching that not all you read on the net is true. ====

Here is another interesting [|library research] toolkit

[|Kidtopia] has resources for students by topic. It is actually a Google custom search engine.
====Qwiki is not a tool that I would give the kids as a search area. That being said, there are Qwikis that they might use for research that you would pick out for them. An[| example] is this one. You can search from that page.==== ====This is a wiki that has examples of how librarians can use various web tools. If you like one, and need more help, we can work on that together.====
