Since the public library "side" of AskAway is still behind a picket line, we may see a few questions from public library patrons. Here are a few tools that you can use to help them:
Public Libraries' Delicious bookmarks:
http://del.icio.us/askaway
For those of you not familiar with Delicious, use the Tags on the right side of the screen to select a topic, e.g. Climate_Change
Then, select a link from the left side of the screen.
List of Free (academic) databases:
Use this list of open access databases (listed by subject) to assist high school students. Keep in mind that not all of the databases contain free full text.
