From ABC-CLIO Schools come several Web sites containing resources, reference, and learning tools for students. Each site is aligned with national curriculum standards, and contains thousands of encyclopedic entries, a number of visual resources, interactive topic explorations, and test banks to assist educators. Each Web site links to current news, features, and commentary pertinent to the curriculum, while easy-access content correlations link to national history and geography standards and popular textbooks. A special section for educators offers plentiful resources, while the student section delivers project resources, advanced searches, and a section in which to publish essays. Among the comprehensive sites offered are World Geography, American Government and State Geography.

World Geography contains a wealth of information about each country’s history, government, politics, law, economy, environment and cultural landscape. In-depth statistical data covers population, climate and economics, and contains tools to analyze and compare data. Interactive maps help students analyze and interpret geographic information.
