Here is a good database that is hard to find on the Kansas Library Card list. In the “Additional Databases” section at the end of the list of Thomson-Gale (InfoTrac) Databases is a kid-friendly (K-5) searching tool. KIDS InfoBits provides full-text articles from many developmentally appropriate sources on current events, the arts, history, sports, science and more. Students can choose to use icons to narrow their subjects, a Basic search box, or an Advanced search strategy that allows them to limit by date, reading level, etc. There is even a “toolbox” for teachers.
Go to the list of databases available from your Kansas Library Card ( http://www.kslc.org/ ) and choose InfoTrac Web. Then scroll down to or click on the Additional Databases list to explore Kids InfoBits.
