Here is a great article on how to put together a study group

Internet Public Library

www.ipl.org

ipl2 is a public service organization and a learning/teaching environment. To date, thousands of students and volunteer library and information science professionals have been involved in answering reference questions for our Ask an ipl2 Librarian service and in designing, building, creating and maintaining the ipl2's collections. It is through the efforts of these students and volunteers that the ipl2 continues to thrive to this day.

Sweet Search

www.sweetsearch.com

SweetSearch is a Search Engine for Students.

It searches only the 35,000 Web sites that our staff of research experts and librarians and teachers have evaluated and approved when creating the content on findingDulcinea. We constantly evaluate our search results and "fine-tune" them, by increasing the ranking of Web sites from organizations such as the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian, PBS and university Web sites.

Tex-Share Databases

What you need for research.

The commercial databases licensed by TexShare offer authoritative, full-text articles from verifiable, subscription-only sources. Every search yields results you won't see anywhere else.

TexShare is surprisingly easy to use and is so much more efficient than sifting through unreliable information you finding using Google. Wikipedia is often a great jumping off point. With TexShare, you can go much further and impress the heck out of your teacher, or learn as deeply into a subject as you care to. Because of very strict licensing agreements, however, only residents of Texas can use it.

Great! How do I use it?

Using your library card number and primary telephone number (only use your area code if you are outside 512) without the dash, log into your user account.
