All this makes the American Reference Library a gold mine of resources on U.S. History . With this tool on your shelf, you will be able to confidently teach and study our hsitory, from printing out source documents to read to your preschooler, to getting a teen ready to take the Advanced Placement U.S. History exam . In fact, two of our teens are using it for just that purpose!
It's very easy to use . Organized in a searchable database format, you can easily search and find information throughout the disc. Just type the keyword or phrase you want, and up pops a list of selections that include the word or phrase.

The interface is simple, the data is easy to find, and it's well researched. If you're looking for a U.S. history and civics tool you can use throughout your child's entire education, this is the program for you .
