NetLibrary
I perused the Idiots Guides, Cliff's Notes, and some specific topics such as Steinbeck. I searched Western History and Oklahoma; I located a delightful book called Nothing but Prairie and Sky. It had fascinating stories, such as what they did with a call girl who died and was too large for a casket. When I searched the term constitution, I found original documents and some advanced material about interpreting the constitution. I have recommended NetLibrary in the past, but the login process seems to keep some teachers from using it. I couldn't remember my password from before, so I did all of the above without logging in, while waiting for an e-mail with my password. What do you think of recommending this for teachers and classes? Would they just not be able to save their work/lists, or would there be other limitations? It looked like I had full access while I was there, just not able to make lists, etc.

Hi, Jean! Now I'm going to have to go in and find the book about the casket! You are correct--a login is unnecessary for full access. Anyone can go in and look, read, print (if that is allowed in that particular book) without logging in. The login allows you to make notes, lists, etc. It's entirely up to you & your teachers how you want to handle that. Thanks for a good report and a good question.
