World BookI used to think that World Book Online was just the World Book Encyclopedia posted to the internet. Now I know it’s much more than that. There’s an entire section on science projects. There are over 10,000 biographies and you can search for someone to do a report on by choosing the gender, nationality, and time period that fit your assignment. There are timelines that you can use or edit, or you can create your own timeline. The Spanish-language section (Enciclopedia Estudiantil Hallazgos) has links to newspapers around the Spanish-speaking world. There are thousands of photos and maps (including historical maps).

So, we have moved ALL of the adult nonfiction to make more room for fiction. Change is good, right?
