The computers in the library use "Yahooligans" as the homepage, a very good search engine and starting location for research. If the computer is not in "Yahooligans" go to "Bookmarks", "Search Engines", and release on "Yahooligans". Be sure to write down the web address if you decide to use information from an Internet site.
