Sponsored by the American Association of School Librarians, a division of American Library Association, its goals are to provide high quality information services in response to student needs, connect kids and information on the Internet, and help school library media specialists fufill their role in cyberspace. Students, or a teacher submitting a question for a student, send a question like yours or an individual one, to the KidsConnect main e-mail address: askKC@ala.org. Questions can be sent from individual e-mail accounts or by using the form on the : KidsConnect web page

Once questions are received they are routed to volunteers who respond to the student with appropriatesource referrals, both Internet and print.The students are given information about HOW to search as well as WHERE. This might be a good way for you to find some sources of biographical information or for your students to locate a person to research. There is lots of information for teachers at the web site as well. The places I often send students working on biography projects are

Both of these web sites have tons of information and both are organized into categories that makes searching easier. Sounds like a fun project! Anne Lawless Croak

They have very interesting biographies of various women scientists and

The undergraduate women at Agnes Scott
College in Atlanta have an ongoing project of writing and placing on the
Web biographies of women mathematicians, living and dead.  I ran into
it accidently one day while looking for a biography of Grace Hopper
and ended up getting as a bonus a photograph of the first bug to be
removed
from a computer program!!  It is a wonderful contribution to the growing
collection of information on the Web.
