new, improved Curriculum Resource Center. The extensive revamping includes a fresh
new design and a considerable amount of new content.

"Curriculum Resource Center has always been a unique resource, and its wealth of
printable, curriculum-related handouts has always been a favorite of teachers," said
Paul Conklin, Facts On File's Director of Sales. "The appealing new look and user-
friendly interface are designed for the express purpose of making the content of the
database more accessible."
