SIRS Discoverer is one of the nine databases featured on the Alabama Virtual Library specifically for elementary students.
One of the best features of this database is the alphabetical listing of global nations. When students click on a country, they are directly linked to scores of articles, multimedia resources, etc. supporting their research on that particular nation...all with nicely formatted citations at the end!
There is also a specific link for the world almanac...which is one of those reference sources in which students continue to demonstrate a weakness.
The real strength of SIRS, however, lies within the maps feature. Need historical maps, outline maps, topographical maps, continental maps....any kind of map? Hit up the SIRS Discoverer for a pleasant selection of maps of every shape, size, and intent.
