  ipl2 - Formerly called the Internet Public Library, ipl2 was renamed after merging with the Librarians' Internet Index. This site evaluates and aggregates resources from around the internet. In addition, the site offers "Ask an ipl2 Librarian" where anyone can submit research questions that will be handled by librarian volunteers and library school students.

  Kansas Library Card - Talk to Mr. Cornett about signing up for a Kansas Library Card. Note: many of the resources previously available only through the Kansas Library Card are now available without login at the "State Library of Kansas - Student Research Center." The card is still required to access the state's e-book collections.

  State Library of Kansas - Student Research Central - The State Library of Kansas offers databases freely to all residents of the state.
