The WWW Virtual Library is a vast information website packed with various topics that range from agriculture and the arts to social behavior and society. Each site is operated and funded by a sponsor and is very much academically centered. However, once funding is no longer provided the site appears to be disconnected until another sponsor can replace the site. This does make it frustrating to click on a topic and realize that it has been disconnected or request that you provide more information to be subscribed.
The layout of the site allows for an educator to start with a broad topic and further narrow down a search to fit within what they are teaching. Once a topic is selected an educator has available links to accurate websites, information about educational projects, lectures, university studies, and many more news information or resources to aid in creating a lesson plan. As an upcoming teacher I feel that this site could be very beneficial to an educator at any level. This site could help one get acquainted with a new topic or raise awareness in a university classroom. However, the website tends to lead to some dead ends and seems to be outdated. I expected more from this site since it is supported by sponsors.
