World Book Online

Picture
The Library is pleased to announce that we have a school account with World Book Online information service. World Book has been a trusted learning resource since 1917.

There are two (age appropriate) services available for homework, research and general interest. Each provides a welcome alternative to many students over reliance on Wikipedia.

World Book Kids features content and tools developed especially for young students. The site offers simple navigation, easy-to-read articles,
multimedia, comparison tools, interactive games and activities, and teacher resources. 

World Book Student
, the redesigned and upgraded version of World Book Online Reference Centre, includes the articles of the World Book
Encyclopedia
, a Biography Centre, dictionary, atlas, an extensive multimedia collection, thousands of editor-selected Web sites, correlations to
curriculum standards, and much more.

How to Access
Both World Book Online services can be accessed via the web - both at home and at school.

Web Address is: www.worldbookonline.com
