Web Site of the Week: findingDulcinea
Posted by: Christine Bulson

Mark Moran the CEO of  findingDulcinea.com says it is a “small company with an ambitious agenda.”   Called The Librarian of the Internet,” it was suggested as a “Site That will Matter in 2009″ by readers of  PC World.  There is something here for everyone.  The daily home page gives an idea of what Dulcinea does.  Today (10/24) continues a series of features on haunted cities with Boston in the spotlight.  ”Beyond the Headlines” discusses the new movie Amelia, summarizes reviews and links to the full text. It also provides biographical information on Earhart and offers theories about her disappearnce.  Web Guides abound from “Web Search in the Classroom” and  ”Web Site Credibility” to “Horse Racing:  The Sport of Kings” and “Opera Basics.”  Each guide has sub-topics with numerous links to other sources.  Dulcinea also offers SweetsSearch.com, a Google custom search engine with 20,000 sites approved by the Dulcinea staff.  Since it excludes many extraneous sites,  it will be most useful for students.  We all know that Don Quixote’s quest in life was Dulcinea.  May findingDulcinea help us be successful in teaching others about the magnitude and advantages of using the Web.
