Do you know about the timeline help in the State Library databases? You can go to the list of databases http://www.kslc.org/ (or use the Empowered Desktop from Kan-Ed) and find all sorts of TIMELINES!
If you use the WorldBook database you can simply type in the word "timeline" in the Search box in the upper right of the screen. On the left side of the resulting page you can go to the websites and find an American literature timeline, a WWI timeline, an earth history timeline and more.
The SIRS Discoverer database uses the subject term "Chronology, Historical" that, when searched, brings up timelines for inventions, the roaring twenties, ancient Greece, and more. Use the term "generate timelines" and find a timeline generator that allows students to build their own! (This can also be found at http://www.readwritethink.org/materials/timeline/ .)
About Me
- Sherry Backhus
- Emporia, Kansas
- The picture is of my first balloon flight which was certainly a thrill! I researched balloon flight safety before I went and was glad that I did. I have my MLS from Emporia State University and have been part of the Kansas library community for more than thirty years now. During that time I have worked at KU and ESU, I have attended many Tri-Conferences and held leadership positions in several sections and roundtables. I honestly believe that librarians (especially Kansas librarians) are at the forefront of accepting and using technology to our communities' advantage. Yea US!
