Homework Help |

Homework
help from OWLS, the On-Line Westchester Library System, includes
many links to places on the Internet, arranged by Dewey Decimal
number. The numbers are annotated, too, so that a child looking
for fairytales will be guided to the 300s (Social Science). This
is not only useful for Internet searches, but it also serves as
a handy Dewey guide for in-person library research. |
