The K-12 Databases and World Book Online are great resources for this project.  Your research folder will have the username and password you will need to access these databases.  Other websites are available by opening the Online Catalog.  Enter your topic, click subject.  Then click the "Website" tab.

Choosing Reliable Web Sites

The last three letters of a URL tell what kind of Web site it is.  A good researcher will use these types of sites for research purposes:

	.gov sites are hosted by the government
	.edu sites are hosted by schools
	.org sites are organizations, mainly not-for-profit organizations.  Museums and libraries usually end in .org
	BEWARE of addresses with a tilde(~). That means that though it is a part of the initial site address, it was not created, published, or maintained by the initial site.
	BEWARE of a web site ending in .com.  These sites often have a commercial purpose.
