Select K-6 and then try a few of these
databases.
- Encyclopedia Britannica - a great source of
information.
- SIRS Discoverer - will help you to locate
articles on your reading level.
- American National
Biography. - Please note that all the articles originally
included in the ANB Online were on biographical subjects who
died before the end of 1995. Articles on important figures who
have died since 1995 are being added in quarterly updates, but
coverage of people in this category is not yet complete. If
you cannot find an article on a subject, he or she may have
died after 1995, or may be living.
