=Famous Hoosiers Pathfinder=

This wiki was created as part of a online library science class in 2009, with the purpose of creating a dynamic "pathfinder," or research guide. This research guide can be updated over time with the help of other authors. The original author is Emily Hawkins, a Hoosier children's librarian.

This wiki is geared towards upper elementary school students studying Indiana History. Students will be able to find the following things through this wiki.
 * Background information on researching, and general info about Indiana
 * Web resources to help them choose a famous Hoosier to research
 * Online biographies of individual Hoosiers
 * Audio/Visual links to Hoosier information
 * List of suggested books to use (which may be available through your local library or online bookstore)
 * Miscellaneous references (RSS feeds to blogs and more)
