35 resources and chose 10 core resources completed Yeah! I could have used more time to work on them and perfected them but my project calls. I did notice when I printed out that the search tools and the one other reference area did not print even though they showed on the screen.
2 references I discovered through this exercise were American's Women History. I found the best way to find it once it is LATI is not available to me is my googling. What I found in this resource were unexpected treasures that are valuable to customers doing biographical , historical reports. It is set up well , easy to use. Don't let the first page turn you off -- it is wonderful. I shared it with a co worker who copied the info and had us share it with all the librarians.
The other reference was Ben's guide to US Government. http://bensguide.gpo.gov It is a government provided website where you choose the grade level.- I chose 9-12 as Maryland requires high school students to pass a government test to graduate. In many cases if the child does not pass it is up to them to learn the material. I found it to be all here in a great format for studying.
I am trying to come up with a system to keep the web resources I've discovered at my fingertips for future reference when needed.
