Search Engines (especially good for kids!)

1. Yahooligans - Search for general information about topics. This search engine provides one of the best ways to get started when you don't know where to go. (dogs, football, holidays, countries...) .
2. KidsClick! - Another search for general information. This site was created by librarians for students to use. It's very simple...either type in a topic or click on a letter. (same as for Yahooligans)
3. Ask Jeeves for Kids- If you have specific question to ask or know what kind of information you need, try Ask Jeeves. (How do fish breathe? Where can I find a picture of Marlon Brando? How high are the mountains in Colorado? )
4. Little Explorers - Although aimed at primary-aged students, anyone will find this site helpful. It includes easy definitions, web sites, and usually has good PICTURES too! Just click on the letter of the alphabet your topic starts with and you're off! (Penguins, dinosaurs, bats...)
5. Awesome Library -Gives good, comprehensive results
6. World Book Online Encyclopedia - You'll need to be on a school computer to make full use of this site.
