The Meta-Library: Social Studies Education
-
VOTELINK is an ambitious interactive
polling station published by Alexia Parks, an ex-Washington Post
columnist in Boulder, Colorado. Each week polls on national issues are
conducted for the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the U.K., as well as for
certain U.S. states and cities. Pros and cons are provided before each
vote, and you can view the results immediately afterwards. There's also
a discussion area attached to each issue. Pulling the handle at the voting
booth has never been easier.

Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse
for Law-Related Education
-
This adjunct clearinghouse currently does not have an operational web site.
Watch the above linked page where it is listed for its re-emergence. "To
promote the widest possible dissemination of Law-Related Education (LRE)
materials, the American Bar Associaton's National Law-Related Education
Resource Center (ABA/NLRC) sponsors the Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse for
Law Related Education in partnership with the ERIC Clearinghouse for Social
Studies/Social Science Education (ERIC/ChESS).
-
The American Bar Association's Public Education Division created the NLRC
in 1991 to collect and disseminate information on LRE programs and resources,
substantive legal topics, funding sources, and teacher and resource leader
training opportunities. Today, the NLRC serves K-12 community, college
and university students, as well as the general public. NLRC produces newsletters,
technical assistance papers, anthologies, bibliographies, and books on
LRE resources, such as 319 Current Videos and Software for K-12 Law-Related
Education."
