Jan, This may be a little late for inclusion in the resources you are collecting but here it is anyway. I joined the Electroinc Library today(http://www.elibrary.com). There is a 2 week free trial, but mine had run out. With three daughters in college it seemed a bargain at $9.95 a month. It holds the complete textx of hundreds upon thousands of books, magazines, news articles, tv informational shows, pictures, maps and more. It is searchable. The results have the references listed in the bibliographic form you would use in a college level paper WITH reading level. The full text of the ones you choose have your search words underlined making it easy to find what you were searching for. When I entered "Mars exploration" there were one and a half pages of references. I thought some of these would be good additions to what you might already have listed.
