Trial Database:Teaching Books Here is the url: http://teachingbooks.net   (until Dec 15, 2009) TeachingBooks.net is an online, multimedia collection of resources about K-12 books, authors and illustrators that help encourage students to read and enjoy reading. TeachingBooks.net is a portal to thousands of online resources you can use to explore children's and young adult books and their authors. It offers quick access to materials and programs (short movies, audio book readings, book discussion guides, and more) that add a multimedia dimension to reading in the classroom, library, and home. Use TeachingBooks.net to look up any favorite author — from David Macaulay to J.K. Rowling, from Dr. Seuss to Shakespeare — or any title (fiction or nonfiction). You get search results with online teaching / learning resources about that author or specific book. These resources may be useful for lesson planning, author studies, and professional development to support the many ways books can be integrated into all subject areas in the K–12 curriculum.  Some users may want to view the 8-minute video demonstration of some of the university uses of TeachingBooks, presented by the TeachingBooks founder, Nick Glass:
