Web Site
Awesome Library Excellent resource of child-safe sites useful for research and browsing.   Sections for kids, teens, teachers, parents, librarians, and community.
B.J. Pinchbeck's Homework Helper  Hundreds of links loosely arranged by subject for grades 2-12.
Beaucoup!  Very useful search engine providing thousands of educational links. Teachers and Librarians will find many of the Kid's links invaluable for planning. Students may need help due to the overwhelming amount of information.
EducationCentral.com
Fact Monster
KidsClick: Web Search for Kids by Librarians
Multnomah County Library's Homework Center
RefDesk.Com  The best!

The WWW Virtual Library

Web Site
Schoolwork Ugh!  A great site for research. Especially suited for upper elementary through high school. Broad coverage.
Blue Web'n Learning Sites Library  Pacific Bell's database of "Blue Ribbon" learning sites; over 1000 ranked sites searchable by subject, audience, and type. Includes online activities and projects for educators and Filamentality template for easy web page construction.
Alta Vista  To find a picture, click on the appropriate tab (IMAGES, AUDIO & VIDEO) then enter the search term. Actually pulls up thumbnails.
Hotbot  Type in the search term, make sure to check "image" in the search form on the left side of the screen. Gives you the web site, not the image
Yahoo  Best subject directory
Alltheweb  Widest coverage, least sophisticated, use when you have a very specific, little-covered phrase
Google  A favorite
