 * Gale:**

1.) Cape Girardeau Public Schools - [|Cape Central High School]
 * The link to MOREnet is located on the high school's library webpage. It is listed as electronic sources. I would have expected it to be under the information links. It also has links to the extra databases as well, such as NewsBank and Learning Express Library. All of which require a password to utilize.

2.) Columbia School District - [|Rock Bridge High School]
 * On the home page, there is a link to the Media Center. On this page, the link is to Research Databases. Here there is a link to Gale Power Search, where the MOREnet resources are located. Home access UserIDs and passwords are available in the library at the school.

3.) Jefferson City School District - [|Thomas Jefferson Middle School]
 * On the district's homepage, there is a link to the media centers and then a link to the Missouri River Regional Library (Public Library), where the Gale Database is located. It is located under the online resources. It is relatively easy to find as long as you know for what you are looking. On the Thomas Jefferson Middle School Media Page, there is a direct link to research databases, which connects you directly to GALE databases. The elementary schools have a link to Kids InfoBits on the media web pages. All Databases need specific usernames and passwords. Most of which you get from the media center specialist.

4.) Kearney School District - [|Dogwood Elementary School]
 * MOREnet is listed as a link under Sites for Lab link on the district website. All schools may access. There are no directions on how to access the link, but it can be found on the district website, if you know for what you are searching. Since it is listed among the approved computer lab games, I would assume students are very familiar with how to access. I would think their opening internet page would be their district site, with the link Sites for Lab. All of the databases on MOREnet are accessible to all students.

5.) Park HIll School District - [|English Landing Elementary]
 * Under the school's library link, students are able to access their school's online database, Destiny. There are directions as how to access this site, on the library webpage. Access is allowed at school and home. This is also where there are links to research resources. The downfall is that you must have your school id and password to enter the catalog. When you log in, you are on a home page that has links created by that school's librarian. Here you can access kid specific online databases, through "Homework Help." This link takes you to the kid page on the MCPL site. Only some of the resources on Mr. Pentlin's list __are listed here:__ InfoTrac Junior, InfoTrac Student, Kid InfoBits, and Student Resources in Context . These links are hard to find using this method. Since this is the elementary school of which I am employed, I have access. Since I didn't know how to access these sites, I don't think students do either. I do know they are familiar with accessing MCPL's site, but am not sure how much they do in the library.

6.) Park Hill School District - [|Park Hill South High School]
 * The link to the library webpage is under the high school's resources for students. There is a link for Electronic Indexes. Among a few others there is only a link to the MCPL site. All of the databases require a log-in. All are accessible at home and school.

7.) Raytown School District - [|Blue Ridge Elementary]
 * Under the school's library webpage, there is a list of links. A link to the Mid-Continent Public Library (MCPL) is located under Research Links. The resources on MCPL's Website have to be accessed by using a library card. It would be necessary for students to have an individual library card, or use the teacher's library card number. This could also be accessed at home with their card or access number. I think it would be better for the links to be specifically to the databases kids would use, especially the early elementary years. Because of the card number needed, I don't think students would access these databases frequently.
 * Under MCPL's Website, it has __all but a few__ of the resources: Discovering Collection, Global Issues in Context, Annenberg Media, NetSmartz Workshops, Missouri Resources.

8.) St. Louis School District - [|Metro Academic and Classical High School]
 * I was unable to locate any library site on this school's website. I did find a Shortcut on the home page to Research Paper Guide. This guide is on the website for the Arthur C. Banks Library at Capital Community College in Hartford, Connecticut. It also links to a video on how to complete research online using databases available. As for the actual database resources, it is linked back to college's website. My guess is that this high school also subscribes to this college for their access to online databases. There are no directions as to how to access the resources.

9.) [|Stewartsville C-2 School District] - All schools and grades are in one building, so the district site is for all grade levels.
 * The links to the research sites include the Gale Database, Learning Express Library, Newsbank, and KidInfo Bits. They are listed under the link, Homework Helpers in the Technology Section. All the links are listed as the titles of the sites. All require passwords. No directions are listed.

10.) Warrensburg School District - [|Warrensburg Middle School]
 * Warrensburg has a link to the media center on their home page. On the library's homepage are links to Gale (MOREnet), as well as a link to the University of Central MO's library resources. It appears that Warrensburg School District has access to the University's library. The link to online resources are very easy to find. Students do need a username/password to enter.
