World Book

In comparing the World Book Online Kids and World Book Online Info Finder, I was impressed with how much information was included at age appropriate levels. The Kid section had a solid and easy to read overview while the Online Info was much more detailed, had a wealth of information about many topics related to the search, and was much more specific. I also liked the included outline where you could jump to the section in which you were interested. Lots of cool pictures were included and some interesting videos made the site quite compelling. I think kids would like both of these resources and find them easy to navigate. I also appreciated how the citation for the article was included, very helpful. I can see a kid starting research and getting pulled further into the site as they explore all the available links.

As for the Online Reference Center, again I was impressed with the details and the amount of information available. The outline with links would be very helpful if one was looking for a specific area. This is very much like an encyclopedia for the digital age. If a patron was looking for solid, reliable information - this would be a good placce to send them.
