The World Digital Library, supported by UNESCO, is a project to provide primary sources from other countries and cultures free of charge, and is offered in seven different languages, including Arabic, Portuguese, andRussian. The design of the website is easy to navigate and very interactive, with its map of the world and timeline beneath it. Moving either of the lime green bars on the left and right of the timeline will change the images on the world map above it, and will provide images of the time period chosen when clicked. Each image is explained in whichever of the seven languages chosen in which to view the site, but any language that appears in the image remains in its original language. At the top of the page, visitors can choose to browse by "Place", "Time", "Topic", "Type of Item", and"Institution". The image quality is excellent, and once chosen, the image can be zoomed in on and panned. Thumbnails of similar items to the image chosen are also provided underneath the image.The World Digital Library, supported by UNESCO, is a project to provide primary sources from other countries and cultures free of charge, and is offered in seven different languages, including Arabic, Portuguese, andRussian.

Scoopler is a new search engine that allows you to simultaneously search Delicious, Digg, Twitter, and Flickr in one place. Scoopler is quite simple, enter a search term and you'll find results from all four of those services. Results are sorted into two columns, "live" which provides the most recently shared links and "popular" which is based on the number of times a link has been shared.

While many people think of the Library as simply the place where we keep all the books, there is much more here for your classroom, even if you don’t teach history or language arts. A good place to start is the Learning Page which offers lesson plans for using primary sources in the classoom and much more to help you use the Library site. Other sections include the fabulous Amercian Memories collection, online versions of many of the Library’s exhibits, the Global Gateway to access international resources, and Thomas, an index of recent and ongoing Congressional legislation. On top of everything else, they’ve recently revised the site to make it easier to navigate.
