Pioneer Library Resources

Library of Congress

For my first resource off of pioneer library was The Library of Congress. This site contains information about anything and everything. The quality of information I found to be very good, they were all knowledgeable sources. The information was very current for the calendar of events, however for the magazine page on what they keep up on, hadn’t been updated since November of last year. I think that this may be as a result of having all of those magazines and their current conditions. I think that this is a very easy site to navigate. I loved how when I wanted to look for a book for breast cancer for example, the books were categorized as to what they talked about concerning cancer, making it that much easier to pick the right book for you. I would definitely use this site as an educator not only to keep myself up to date but also to help my future students to do research. So yes I would have my students use this site.

Culture Grams

I think that culture grams is the coolest informational site I have ever seen. This site contains information on all of the different countries in the world. I think that the quality of information is very good and accurate. It is current as of this year. This is an extremely easy site to navigate. I would use this site as an educator and will definitely have my students use this site. I actually think that the site for the kids has more fun facts and information than that for the adults.

World Book

This site contains information on just about anything. It is good quality information and is kept up to date. The resource is very simple to navigate. I would use it as a teacher because it would be able to help me in preparing my lessons and I don’t have to worry about whether or not it is accurate because I know it is. I would have my students use this site as a reference for research projects on various topics.
