HIT: science collection help

[Molly Bates <mollybates35653@YAHOO.COM>]

Hi everyone!

Sorry I am so late in posting this hit. (MSHS is back
in full swing!)

I hope this helps some of you as much as it helped me!

The #1 recommended site was Titlewave by Follett.
 http://www.flr.follett.com


There is a publication called Science Books and Films.
It is published
by
the American  Association for the Advancement of
Science (AAAS).
Check your public library (main branch and also
audio-visual
collection) to
see if they have it (they might have it for the
professional staff and
would
let you look at it) or the university library (same
staff people).  The
web
site is http://www.sbfonline.com/
You can check out the Best Lists, which are lists of
titles which they
reviewed in the previous year which had high ratings.
They are listed
by
Dewey #.

Hope this helps.

You are so in luck.  I am also a MLS student at the
University of Central Arkansas and I just did an
exercise for Developing Info. Collections that was
science based.  I had to find materials that were
science related.

Below are sites that you can go to and find valuable
info... some even free!!

   www.scholastic.com

   www.bn.com

   www.turtlebackbooks.com

   www.libraryvideo.com

   www.firstscience.com  (freebie)

   www.bookadventure.com  (this is a reading quiz
database similiar to Accelerator Reader but free)

   www.infoplease.com  (free science research
database)

   Also search your local educational cooperative for
materials available to schools.

Also, go to your search engine and type in Media Basic
Video.  This will give you the site for the company.
Also do the same for Children's Library Resources.

I used each of these as was able to find much useable
information and books/videos.

Hope this helps! Good luck!!
