The Instructional

Media Specialist.
- Net
Trekker provides fast and easy access to more than 180,000
high quality, pre-screened, and educationally relevant K-12 websites.
- ProQuest K-12 provides
access to magazine and newspaper articles, photographs, maps,
and news transcripts.
For home use or with student login: Go to ProQuest
K-12.
For school use: Go to eLibrary
Elementary (designed for elementary students) or
eLibrary (more
appropriate for students in grades 5-12). These should not ask
for a user name or password at school.
ProQuest (different
configurations make it appropriate for elementary through high
school students, as well as for staff) may ask for a user name
and password, even at school. If it does, it is asking for a teacher
login. If you do not have access to that login, please use ProQuest
K-12.
- CultureGrams provides
historical, geographical and cultural information on countries
of the world (World Edition and Kids
Edition) and states in the United States (States
Edition).
Change from one edition to another by clicking on an edition name
in the upper right-hand corner.
- World
Book Online is an encyclopedia that is familiar to many
in its print form. The online format allows for easier searching
and includes connections to appropriate, pre-viewed Internet sites.
- Britannica Online
Britannica Online is actually three encyclopedias in one: Encyclopedia
Britannica (for high school students), Compton's
Encyclopedia (for middle school students), and Britannica
Elementary Encyclopedia (for elementary students).
Britannica Online also includes Annals
of American History Online (primary source material
on American history) and World
Data Analyst Online (statistical comparisons of countries
from around the world).
- ABC-Clio
provides students with four social studies resources. American
History and United States at War are
specialized encyclopedias of American history. World History:
Ancient and Medieval Eras and World History:
The Modern Era are specialized encyclopedias of World
history. All four provide access to primary source documents,
biographies, timelines, and much more. They are primarily intended
for students in grades 6-12, but are available to all students
and staff.
Change from one to the other using a drop down menu in the upper
right-hand corner.

students in grades 7 through 12 with access to The New
Book of Popular Science (for easy to understand science
information) and Lands and Peoples (for information
about countries and cultures).

left-hand corner to switch between the two resources.
