POPULAR PAGES:
|
The following websites are designed and/or created by librarians for ease of use, to meet the specific needs of a population they serve, and to avoid the often annoying and sometimes devastating pop-ups and advertisements we so often get with internet searches. The selections cover the curriculum across the board for Miller-Motte students and faculty. These are free access websites. Only a very few charge any fees at all. A very few have a one-time registration fee for certain types of use, for example. Otherwise, these are free services to the user. This list will be updated as newly designed websites become available.
