Here is a site you can put people under 17 on when they want to find pictures and are blocked by the filter.

The sites listed below will also not get blocked, but only if you access them through the web page. The easiest way to do that is to search "photos" or "pictures" on the reference subject page. http://pics.tech4learning.com

Joe found this site which can be used to answer the homework question: "What is the classification for the species I have been assigned (Kingdom, phylum, etc.)?

Just click on the "classification" link and enter the species to get the scheme for that species. We also have a couple of books in the reference collection that do a similar thing.

You may have heard more about blogs recently--even that they are being used at CML. Blogs, a word for "Web logs," are web sites that allow for interactive posting of content. Both more substantive and more permanent than a chat room, these sites allow regulated response to a topic or theme.

The blogspot site allows you to create your own blog for free, to search for blogs on topics of interest, or to sign in to contribute to our own www.34ref.blogspot.com blog (you're on it now!)
This site has a tutorial that will get you started. Blogs are easy, free and you can have just about as many as you want.

An excellent book in out collection is, Blogging in a Snap, by Julie Meloni, and naturally there is Blogging for Dummies.
