Search Engine for Low-Vision or Older Adults

I found this useful bit of information in the AARP Bulletin from April 2010:

When Sunmee Huh, a 16 year old high school honor student from Germantown, MD, noticed her 82 year old grandfather struggling to search the Web, she created Good50.com, a user-friendly search engine designed for older adults.  The site features a larger search box and fonts and has fewer text ads above the results. If you know someone who might benefit from this great site, please share it with them.

Great Website for Readers

How would you like to be able to access a "Consumer Reports" type of book site where you can:

  • Get great book recommendations from people.
  • Keep track of what you've read and what you'd like to read.
  • Form a book club, answer book trivia, collect your favorite quotes

Then try www.goodreads.com

Become a member....it's free!

Highly recommended by the librarians here.
