I chose the alpaca this time. It lives in the Andes Mountains of South America. They eat grass and other plants. The information from Info Finder is definately more detailed than World Book Online Kids. Info Finder gave specific areas you can find alpacas.
Wow! The Reference Center is full of information! I searched the Czech Republic which is close to what I searched before, Czechoslovakia. The side bars are very user friendly, patrons can click on the specific subtopic they are looking for instead of searching the whole article, as well as having other sources to search--loved to questions asked about my topic, it made me think about what I had read! If I couldn't remember seeing anything about the question, I went back to see if I could find it.
Again, these sites are excellent resouces for research. The information gets more detailed as you progress in school/life. Students and patrons will have a very useful tool if they utilize them!
Good observations, SD Library Challenge! I encourage you to look at InfoFinder's Virtual Tours and Reference Center's "How to" and "Computer and Web Tutorials." A wealth of information at your fingertips! Thanks for your comments.
