Wow. Both the Assignment Calculator and the Research Calculator are great tools, not only for college students, but for junior and high school students who show up at the reference desk and ask the reference librarian for suggestion on all sorts of topics.I will probably bookmark both sites. These two sites, along with their user guides, suggest common sense tips to direct any information search. I think either one of them could be modified, and added to the Science Experiment Page of any public library website. Maybe there is such a site out there for the public school elementary/secondary crowd but I have not found one yet. It is always helpful to explore new ways to guide, present and organize the information students need. Every student presents librarians with new opportunities to explore and different obstacles to overcome. It would be great for students who are new to researcing essays to be able to have a skeleton to hang their research on. Good for librarians helping them too. When it comes to helping students at the reference desk, I will take any hlep I can get and taior it to the student.
