Encyclopedia of Life
The Encyclopedia of Life is an online database that catalogs all plants, animals, and microorganisms known to science. The site includes pages for each of the approximately 1.8 million known species. Staffed by scientists and non-scientists working at museums and research institutions around the world, EoL provides information suitable for the general public as well as linked pages aimed at more specialized users. Since its launch early in 2008, EoL has become an important resource for scientists, natural resource managers, conservationists, teachers, and students looking to browse the entire living world in a dynamic Web environment.

We the People Website
The "Created Equal" Bookshelf The American nation, observed Abraham Lincoln, was “conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” The “Created Equal” Bookshelf provides opportunities for young people to explore what the Revolutionary generation meant when it declared that “all men are created equal.” What challenges has America faced, and where has it shown progress, in its efforts to live up to the ideal of universal human equality? How did Abraham Lincoln, whose bicentennial we celebrate in 2009, contribute to the idea and the reality of human equality in America? Three thousand libraries received the the “Created Equal” Bookshelf—a collection of seventeen classic hardcover books for young readers, all related to the “Created Equal” theme. In addition, libraries received four of these books in Spanish translation, a bonus “History in a Box” resource kit created by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, and supplementary materials for programming, including bookplates, boomarks, and posters. Books included in the “Created Equal” Bookshelf are: Kindergarten to Grade 3 The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen The Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln Pink and Say by Patricia Polacco Pink Y Say by Patricia Polacco (translated by Alejandra Lopez Varela) Grades 4 to 6 Saturnalia by Paul Fleischman Give Me Liberty!
