When I was attending school as a child the only way I could get any information for a report was to get it from an encyclopedia. Sometimes in class I was given the opportunity to send a letter to that certain place I needed information from and hope I would get any response by mail! Things have changed so much since then.
I picked New Zealand as the country to read about on the World Book Online Reference Center. It is amazing how much information is really on this site. It covers so many different things! I would hope that anyone that would use this site would have all their questions answered and they would leave it satisfied with all the information.
