Some information about this site:
Created in1994-
originated at Haas Library at Western Connecticut State University as a brief four page handout for undergraduates unfamiliar with basic library terms.
Today it has approximately 4800 terms.
ODLIS is available online and in print.
The dictionary is a “work in progress” and “expansion of the dictionary is an ongoing process.”
ALA and ALSA - Great Web Sites for Kids
I love this site!
It has 10 main categories, such as Animals, Literature & Language, The Arts, Reference Desk, and Social Sciences.
Each main category is further subdivided.
I choose to follow a couple of the subdivisions.
Under The Arts I clicked “Museums” and was given 20 websites for museums, with brief descriptions.
The museums vary from the Children’s Museum in Indianapolis
to the Web Museum, Paris to the Salem (Mass.) Witch Museum.
Under Literature and Language I clicked “Favorite Children’s Stories.”
Here I discovered 40 websites with a variety of interest, such as: Animorphs, Berenstain Bears, Poetry, Junie B. Jones, Seussville, and The Story Home.
The website has a pencil symbol with an initial to help determine for whom the websites are intended:
Green pencil/P for Prek, Red pencil/E for Elementary, Blue pencil/M for Middle School, and Yellow pencil/ P for Parents/Teachers/Caregivers.
