Ebsco
Ebsco is a search engine that can be used to reseach for school projects, including your Biography Project. In order to use the search engine, choose "Kids Search" or "Searchasaurus." There is also a link called "NoveList." NoveList allows you to search for books. For instance, if you have an author you`ve enjoyed in the past, you can search to see what other books that person has written. You can also choose the "Browse Lists" tab at the top of this section to see lists of books by genre. This would be helpful for looking for titles to complete your quarterly BINGO requirement.
