Gale Virtual Reference Library

The title I picked was Endangered Animals....I like animals.  It gives you a choice from Mammals, Birds, Insects, Reptiles, Plants and others to choose from.  This site would be good for doing research papers or other researching...gives you lots of detailed information and so much to choose from.  I don't think it is a hard site to follow so pretty much anyone would be able to use it.


To search I picked Huckleberry Finn and found an article on Book Banning.  I had forgoten this book was on the list. It also gives you articles about rafts and rafting - I thought that was kind of funny, but the boys did use a raft in the book.  Also has articles on the Mississippi River and articles on the book itself.  Would be useful again for research projects if needed material that didn't have available to you.  It is pretty easy to use.

The listening part was cool!  That will be helpful for those who can't read or problems seeing.  Would need help getting to the article that wanted to listen to.  This was an interesting site.
