Hello 'Netters,

After the Advanced Placement (AP) exams over the next couple of weeks, I'd
like to work with our AP students to show them some of our online databases
and other Web resources they can use.  I've gotten a positive response from
the AP Government teacher, whose students will most likely be taking
Advanced Placement United States History (APUSH) next year.  Our APUSH
teacher hasn't been very cooperative, so I don't know what the curriculum
involves.  In addition to showing them our history database (ABC-CLIO),
EBSCO's Academic Search Premier, and a couple of others, can anyone
recommend Web sites that APUSH students have successfully used for research?


I was also thinking of doing some kind of Internet & library scavenger hunt
with these students; has anyone done this before?  (Our students, even
honors and AP students, are sadly lacking in information-seeking skills.)

And, on the same note: has anyone had success with Mackin or another jobber
creating a list of books to supplement the APUSH curriculum?  We have very
little; and again, I haven't been able to connect with the APUSH teacher.

Please send information directly to me; if there is interest, I can post a
hit.  

Thanks in advance for your help,
~Ann Carstens
