Group IV Curaçao Interdisciplinary Project

Search Tip: start with TEOMA (find it at best search tools, Infopeople, on the library reference page) and use the refining tools to narrow your search and to find additional search terms. You can use VIVISIMO in a similar way, but it also allows you to narrow your search by the type of collection (news, encyclopedia, medical sites).

The first three hyperlinks provide general information about Curaçao OR they offer MASSIVE collections of information (and other links) on every topic for this project.
