POTUS and New World Book Interface

In case you have not had time to look over the Databases and Websites page lately I wanted to point out two helpful tools. POTUS http://www.ipl.org/div/potus/ free website for Presidents of the United States has been add to several pages. You can find it under the free links on the Education, Biography, and History pages. Hope this helps with your kids when doing reports. Also we recently added a new additional interface in the World Book Online Reference Module. It is the World Book Advanced interface . When you get to the main page you will then select Advanced interface in the right corner.

This is a great addition for your older students going up through the first two years of college. It give you primary and secondary source content in one interface and also allows you to build your own bibliography right off the page. Check it out I think you will be impressed.
