Searching the Internet

I subscribe to weekly news from the Librarians' Internet Index where I recently read a great article Research Beyond Google: 119 Authoritative, Invisible, and Comprehensive Resources published in October 2006 by Online Educational Database. The article contains an annotated list of authoritative websites on the invisible or deep web that are not indexed by popular search engines like Google. Take a look by clicking on the article title above!

The Librarians' Internet Index is a website featuring high-quality websites. There are over 20,000 entries, maintained by librarians and organized into 14 main topics and nearly 300 related topics. It is also a great resource.

Wahoo! Winter Story Time!

Don’t forget that 9 weeks of Winter Story Time begins Tuesday, January 9, 2007. “Wild & Wooly” will offer stories, songs and rhymes celebrating the Wild West and all the cowpokes, tribes and horses that that entails. Age appropriate materials are offered for 3 age groups on the following schedule: Babies less than 2 years old on Wednesdays at 10:30am; 2 year-olds on Tuesdays at 10:30am; and 3 and 4 year-olds on Thursdays at 10:30am. Sessions run 20 minutes, 30 minutes and 45 minutes respectively and each winds up with a free play period when new friends and play dates are made. No registration is necessary and story times are free and open to the public.

The library will be closed on Monday January 15, 2007 for Martin Luther King Day.
