Washington County databases that are useful for teens.
Youth Databases - Databases directed at youth and teens. Middle Search Plus, MAS FullTEXT Ultra, Teen Health and Wellness, and TOPICSearch are probably the most useful. Teen Health and Wellness is a new database that teens should definitely take a look at.
Culture Grams - Very useful site for teens doing country reports.
