Editor's Notes

  1. Really break this down and explain it- someone has to read the information, index it, sell it, convert it, put in the database and make it available.
  2. Remember this page is hyperlinked. Click on the smiley face!
  3. Are keep (#1) & bookmark (#2) the same Mark- store a collection of things that you can then email in bulk or peruse at a later time Print articles Email notification of new information on a topic Directory of publications Games, exams and tests you can practice 3D Demonstrations of science Pictures and movies and podcasts you download Foreign language lessons Current topics on main page
  4. If people are confused pull up catalog and show a book
  5. Explain accuracy and reliability- dartboard.
  6. Define peer reviewed
  7. No synomyns Peer review – information that has been accepted by other professionals in the field of subject ie. Other doctors read before it was published
  8. willcopl – libra–
