Link O'Day: Infotopia

No, I am not kin to Dr. Michael Bell...at least not to my knowledge. I would love to claim kinship though. He is wonderfully generous librarian leader and teacher who has developed Infotopia, an academic search engine. It promises to search only authoritative sites, and offers subject headings for browsers as well as a search window.

Bell is former president of TASL, Texas Association of School Librarians. It is offered as a help to all teachers, librarians, and home schoolers. In addition to a search window, there are categories for browsing. This should be a welcome addition to anyone's collection of search tools.
