Confessions of the CBC Librarians

As much as it pains us to admit this, we're going to say it anyway: Lots of good research ideas can be found online. This is how we roll at the CBC Library -- 100% honesty, 100% of the time. And so while we are reluctant to admit that not all good ideas come from the library, we're women enough to embrace those ideas found elsewhere.

You may have noticed a list of links posted on the right-hand side of this page. These are links we use here in the library and that we think will be helpful for you as well. One of them is Bible Gateway.com. This wasn't something we discovered ourselves (a family member pointed it out to us), but we think it's great! It's basically a searchable online Bible in a 100 different versions and 50 different languages. The database is searchable by keyword, text, book of the Bible, etc. and one of the best parts is that it will show you any version you desire. The other best part is that it's free.

Because we support a religious school, we want to find things especially like this for our patrons. It's our job and believe it or not, we like doing it! We hope the Web site will be an invaluable tool for you in your Bible classes.
