Brave the Wave: Using the Internet for Student Research.
Saliba, Elizabeth; Shoemaker, Kellie
This paper offers practical help to the busy professional who lacks the time to search the Internet for authoritative and appropriate information. The document is intended for upper elementary to junior college school librarians, public librarians, and teachers who are interested in using the Internet to help students with reports and homework assignments. Compiled by librarians at Mesa Public Library (Arizona) to assist students with homework and research needs, this comprehensive hypertext bibliography covers the most common and frustrating questions posed by students. Three steps were involved in compiling the Internet resources: assessing which subjects to cover, searching for sites, and evaluating the sites. Factors that were considered in selecting the sites included: currency, availability, reading level, language, source reliability, and subject popularity. The list of about 200 Internet sites are arranged by categories and subjects: careers; geography; government; history; literature; mathematics; medicine; Native American; news; science; social issues; and statistics. Each entry includes an Internet address and brief description of the site. Evaluation criteria for web sites is appended. (SWC)
