Online indexes

I found a reputable site of bibliographic resources called WorldCat.org 
It professes to be the world's largest network of library content and services. It contains references, links, and full text articles, videos, audio files, for all the physical items you are used to getting at the library. The site is very easy to use, and the few items i chose on elementary topics, kangaroos and eclipse provided several results for books, articles, videos and music. They also give a preview feature for some of the books, so you can experience it first hand, before buying it for the collection.

I also liked the site academic info, which was a bibliography for sites on the web. It had some excellent links to Children's picture book database, education place (K-8), eduPuppy, (pre - gr.2), lesson plans page, theme related resources on the world wide web.
