This is the first public library of the Internet. Based at the University of Michigan School of Information, staffed by professional librarians with assistance from students and volunteer librarians from around the world, the library maintains a collection of online ready reference works; responds to reference questions; creates web resources; and evalutes and categorizes resources on the Internet.

Educator's Reference Desk http://www.eduref.org/

ERIC is the world's largest source of education information, with more than 1 million abstracts of documents and journal articles on education research and practice. This version of the Database, updated monthly with the latest citations available, provides access to ERIC Document citations from 1966 through March 2001 and ERIC Journal citations from 1966 through January 2001. You can also access ERIC through Badgerlink.

Amazon.com and Bookfinder.com

You can't beat online used bookstores when you're buying a book: just type one entry and you automatically search the inventories of thousands of new and used book sellers around the world. It's ideal for out-of-print or rare books, but you can even find recent titles.

Google Book Search http://books.google.com/

Search the full text of books to find ones that interest you and learn where to buy or borrow them. If the book is out of copyright, or the publisher or rightsholder has granted permission, you'll be able to page through the entire book from start to finish, as many times as you like. If the book is in the public domain, you'll also be able download, save and print a PDF version to read at your own pace.

Each book includes an 'About this book' page with basic bibliographic data like title, author, publication date, length and subject. You'll see links directing you to bookstores where you can buy the book and libraries where you can borrow it.
