Websites, Search Engines, and Databases
Connecticut
Connecticut Department of Public Health
This site is sponsored by the State of Connecticut provides fact sheets on a number of infectious diseases. You can scroll down the list, but also consider using the search bar as it may take you to other part of their website with more links to try.

iCONN
(ItiCONN(It is a your bibliography.)
This is a search engine that is a service of the Connecticut State Library and local public libraries. You will need your public library card number in order to access this search engine. It will give you access to a number of databases that have information not freely accessible to the public. When you log in on the table provided click on the link to Individual Resources. I would suggest that you look in a couple of databases listed here. They are Info Trac Junior Edition, Science Resource Center, and Health and Wellness Center. These are searchable databases that are at a reading level appropriate for Middle School and higher. You will find visual images, here as well as factual information.

Kids Click

Kids Click is a search engine owned and run by the School of Library Science at Kent State University. Like all search engines it offers you a list of online resources for your searched subject. It will give a brief summary of the site and indicate the reading level.

This resource is an index of high quality carefully selected websites put together by a team of librarians. You can search from the home page by using the search bar or browse under Diseases and Conditions in the Health Section.

Infectious Disease
This website is a comprehensive and up to date resource sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and National Institutes of Health. It is a searchable site having a search bar which includes an advanced search option. Use website common sense if you are getting overwhelmed by the amount of text on the web page. Look for words like �facts� or the abbreviation �FAQs� for answers to those frequently asked questions that may help you find answers to your questions. Those words are often links to other pages with good information.
