Kidsclick
November 1, 2000 -- From Carol Simon Levin, a parent from New Jersey who is not affiliated with the site
For my two cents, Kidsclick! is the first place I go when looking for info for a child’s homework assignment or to find out information about almost anything (even for grownups). Children’s librarians have categorized thousands of sites by subject, so that you can easily discover great sites for math games, butterflies, presidents, physics, pharaohs, election 2000, whatever… (all legitimate and useful!) It also brings together online encyclopedias, almanacs, maps, and dictionaries in its reference section. In addition, it offers a great children’s tutorial on Internet searching. A similar site designed for grownups is the Librarian’s Index to the Internet (http://www.lii.org).

Much of the world’s Internet traffic routes through the major portal companies and their properties, but why?
