This blog can now be accessed directly from the HIBS Library page.  Your comments and thought are most welcome.  It has been really nice seeing students using the Inquiry? page during their research for Social studies and English.  I have added some new ones today including the Google a Day site which gives a different question each day and ask you to research to find the right answer....Have fun!
