Back to School Homework Help

It is back to school time here in Arkansas (the continuing summer notwithstanding) so here are a few links to resources for the students in your life:

  • Internet Public Library: A web page with links to thousands of resources on a multitude of topics. You can also ask questions and have them answered by library professionals and librarians-in-training.

  • Infoplease Homework Center: Another great site for finding links and documents.  "Information Please has been providing authoritative answers to all kinds of factual questions since 1938—first as a popular radio quiz show, then starting in 1947 as an annual almanac, and since 1998 on the Internet at www.infoplease.com."  
  • LibrarySpot: According to their website, LibrarySpot is "a free virtual library resource center for educators and students, librarians and their patrons, families, businesses and just about anyone exploring the Web for valuable research information." The resources and links available " are hand-selected and reviewed by our editorial team for their exceptional quality, content and utility."
  • Refdesk.com:  Refdesk is "a free and family-friendly web site that indexes and reviews quality, credible, and current web-based resources."
