Thanks for the links! I am familar with nettrekker, as our school subscribes. The others I have not used and plan to do that. It's hard to know good places for any of us to go to online. One bad thing about the internet is the wild goose chases you can be led on. Another issue is being on a legitimate search and ending up at a bad site. That happened to my son just the other day. He typed in some word for a social studies project and got a porn site! He was mortified and said, "I didn't know! I didn't know!" Nettrekker is a good place to research where those types of problems are already filter out.
