A word about these projects:
These projects were created through a project funded by the New York State Library.  All of the projects involved NOVEL, an online virtual library connecting New Yorkers to 21st century information via local libraries statewide. We have purposely mounted the projects in formats that you can use with your own projects.  If you use any of our materials, please email us at linda.cruttenden@rcsdk12.org to let us know, and please attribute us in your own versions of the materials.
