About This Page:
This page was formerly posted on the Molly Ockett Library Home Page. No money is made on this page; sites do not pay for a listing here. The sole purpose of this page is to provide students who are doing research with a link to a variety of Maine information sites. Adults are welcome, too. Link selection is based on serendippity and on my own and my students' blundering internet searches. Inclusion, beyond the obvious sites, merely means we found it and it worked for us. I do try not to link to sites that are largely merch-andizing sites no matter how Maine-ly the product being sold. Please feel free to submit potential sites for inclusion; I'll check them out. If your site is included on this list and you wish to have it removed, let me know.
