INET Library is the best place to start for most of your research assignments. INET allows you to search over 10,000 books, over 4200 newspapers and magazines and over 20,000 websites as well as online dictionaries, maps, phone books, 42 different encyclopedias and more. There are special areas for students and teachers. The collection can be searched by keywords or topics. INET rates websites by reading level, so you can be sure which websites are right for your project. ProQuest is the best place to start when researching current events or people in the news. Search over 475 magazines and newspapers going back to 1986. Find the information you need using a keyword, several keywords, or a phrase. Limit your search to articles published in the months or years you choose. Not sure what current event you want to research? Try the Subject List. If you like, you can email your articles to your home email address. ProQuest will even give you the article title and publication name exactly as it should appear in your bibliography. EBSCOHOST allows you to search 1800 magazines by keyword or topic. You can choose the magazine you want to search, limit your search results to the months and years you need, and view the articles as text only or exactly as they appeared in the magazine, complete with pictures and graphics. Print the articles, save them on a disk, or even email them to your home email address. One of EBSCO’s best features is the Image Collection. Need a photo for your backboard? You will probably find it in the Image Collection along with a caption that describes the picture, the publication date, and the source information you need for your bibliography. Northernlight.com is a new search engine that makes Internet research faster and easier. Search results are organized into folders, so you won’t have to go through a list of hundreds of websites before finding what you want. Northern Light’s index includes more than twice as many websites as Yahoo, Excite and Lycos and the rest.
