COSMOSs staff use the most current data, information, and knowledge available on the issues we study.  While much of this still takes place off the Web, COSMOS's staff and fellow researchers access the following sites with great frequency.  Our employees, as individuals, parents, and community leaders, access these sites for more reasons than just academic or project research.  This page is the most-visited page on the Web site and serves as a set of regular and available "bookmarks" from anywhere in the world.

Navigator is used by the New York Times newsroom as a starting point for searching the Web, and what a starting point it is. First, start with a comprehensive list of search engines. There is everything from Yahoo to Northern Light. Dig a little deeper and you'll find government databases for many federal, state, and international agencies. Beyond that you'll find a plethora of reference sites that will help you browse the Bible, search for addresses (both Web and street), peruse online periodicals, and even visit the Elvis homepage. This is the mother lode of research sites.
