  1. From the Webmaster, Infotopia.info:
    Infotopia indexes only websites recommended by librarians, teachers, and educational and library consortia. You are invited to link to this student-safe academic search engine.

    An educator colleague recently said this about Infotopia:
    "Infotopia: A great way to search ... it has become increasing frustrating for students and teachers to try to narrow down the information a search produces as well as check for accuracy, currency, and authority. Well, along comes something to help - Infotopia. Infotopia is an academic search engine that searches with Google but accesses only trusted websites previously selected by librarians, teachers, and library and educational consortia. Automatically it has the Safe Search filter on. ...Fifth and sixth graders ... enjoyed the ease with which they found reliable websites and images and all said they would use it again in their own research."
