Summer fun!

Sometimes you can't leave home to have fun, so you sit around wondering what to do......you've played all the video games (and won), you've watched all the movies, TV is into re-runs of re-runs- so what is there to do?

Try "Searchasaurus: Primary/Elementary Search is designed for elementary school students. 55 full-text childrens' publications and 120 general publications for professionals working with students on the primary/elementary level are included. 300 full text pamphlets are also included. In additional to searchable full-text for some publications, photos are included in many articles. "

There's also "Searchasaurus: Middle Search Plus provides full text from nearly 90 general, reference, health, and science publications. In addition to the full text, this database offers indexing and abstracts for over 130 magazines, including charts, tables, graphs, and photographs."

It is an EbscoHost product. The layout is colorful and fun to use! Encyclopedia articles, fun facts- things you never thought to ask about but there they are! It's aimed at Elemantary through Middle School students but the information is useful for any age.
