Web services have become well known in the school library, yet adoption of them with in the school setting still little have been down, especial in junior high school library. In this paper, we develop a Grade 1-9 Curriculum Web resources search services by using Web services, Grade 1-9 Curriculum, Topic Maps, XTM and relational database management system (RDBMS). The Grade 1-9 Curriculum was transferred into a Topic Maps to representation domain-specific knowledge model and to connect to related resources. This domain-specific knowledge of a topic is exploited by the Web search services to suggest appropriate search queries and retrieval adequate information from the internet. Finally, these functions are integrated into the WUGU junior high school library system and provide an efficient way for users to access heterogeneous information.
