INFOhio: The homepage is your gateway to all the INFOhio resources. Middle school students often find useful information from lower or higher grade levels, so we recommend choosing the blue Core Collection button. That way you'll see all the resources available to all levels.

INFOhio is a great source for online encyclopedias, biographical research, online newspapers (think current events projects), and magazine articles. Ask one of the media center folks for help if you have questions about these awesome resources.

Wikipedia: WARNING! ASK YOUR TEACHER BEFORE USING WIKIPEDIA FOR A SCHOOL PROJECT. Many teachers will not allow you to site a Wikipedia article, but some will. Even if you're not allowed to site information found on Wikipedia, using it can be a great way to start your brainstorming and get ideas for your research project. More on that later...
