[OPLINLIST] Database of the Month: World Book Timelines

[Mandy Knapp via OPLINLIST]

Hello all,

Happy Monday. Every month, I like to bring a resource available from the
Ohio Web Library <http://ohioweblibrary.org/> to your attention. This May,
let's take a look at World Book Timelines (
http://ohioweblibrary.org/db/worldbook-timelines)

*World Book Timelines* allows you to discover and map important events with
accurate information powered by World Book’s wealth of knowledgeable
resources. There are over 400 interactive timelines to learn from.

Use World Book Timelines to:

• Browse existing timelines in subjects such as art, literature, notable
people, parts of the world, science and technology, sports, and world
history to visualize the cause and effect relationship between events.
• Organize information visually for genealogy, local history, or school
projects.
• Work individually or in small groups to save existing timelines, edit and
customize existing timelines or create your own timelines on any subject.
