I like Zotero which is a free online bibliographical management tool. haven't used it through Chrome yet but have used it in Firefox and got the add on for Word. It automatically cited information for you which was a real time saver for me when completing my Advanced Diploma studies. Read the article in Bright Ideas for more information.
I too have use Zotero for my uni studies and found it quite clever. Zotero works better when installed using Firefox (which I personally don't use). So, if you are looking for a program to keep your bibliography on track take a look at this program.
Long term cash loans are for your moment stores for a crisis. Reimbursement terms stay adaptable and can be stretched out according to your own requests. Presently different purposes can be effectively satisfied by taking every one of these credits.
Trove is a discovery experience focused on Australia and Australians. It supplements what search engines provide. If you are researching in the fields of the social sciences, literature, local or family history, or need inspiration for your school assignment, then this is the tool for you. It is the most amazing FREE site and I use it to find so many things "Australian".

Warning, it is slightly addictive!
A great online resource that focuses on literature for children and young adults. Latest fiction is reviewed on a regular basis. Also many links to other literature sites is provided. Full access is available through a paid subscription.
Links to reputable sites useful for all levels of education. There are just so many links here (try under curriculum or resources) and the websites are also given annotations which help to determine their suitability. This is Gold!
A free online encyclopedia about the Earth, its natural enviornments and interaction with society. Whilst the intended audience is the general public the content is suitable for teachers and students. There are links to other resources.
Looking for best practice 'Library Research Skills' for year 7's and I came across this link which I thought would be suitable for year 10's upwards. Any one else know of any other online self paced e-learning tools ranked and sequenced for secondary year levels???
Interactive tutorial from Rutgers University for students covering these areas: Selecting a topic, finding sources, selecting keywords, identifying citations, evaluating sources. Includes database searching using example of EBSCO, importing citations with RefWorks.
Thanks Amanda. I like the interactive nature of the site. It is very smooth and informative. I think Uni students would have the stamina to go through the options offered but I wonder about high school students' ability to stay with it.
"Letter from the Mayor to the Earl of Kent, acknowledging his request of 20 Jan. for a force of 50 arbalesters for service against the Castle of Wallingford..." One of the richest repositories of primary sources. Read the proceedings of the Parliament during the Civil War or (depending on your Latin) records from the 13th century or look up the Ordnance maps from 1854.
Drama in education is the use of drama techniques to support learning in the classroom. Drama in education was at first called creative dramatics and the founder of the field was Winifred Ward. By creative dramatics she meant a classroom teaching method that emphasizes self-expression, training in spoken English and literature appreciation.
