Notes on Links: I have each link open in its own browser window to avoid those endless Back buttons. I do use some commercial sites, but I only link to those that contain a substantial amount of free content. If you find a broken link or have a site you think I should add, please email Casey Smythe .

Research Help
Start with the online databases available at the CDO Library. They contain the best quality information. Next, try online newspapers and magazines. Finally, try the web and don't forget to use several search engines since none of them cover more than a fraction of what's on the internet. Here are some useful sites:
- Find Articles
- This free site indexes full text articles from over 300 recognized magazines since 1998
- TrackStar
- Tracks are self guided "tours" designed by teachers on a variety of subjects
- Evaluating Web Sites
- Great resources to figure out if that website is worth quoting!
