First thing, check with your district admin, local Educational Service District (if you have a bigger than school district, but smaller than state level org that handles media and curriculum), state ed dept, and state level media association. There may well be some databases purchased on a consortium level that you are entitled to or can get for very reduced rates. I've used Grolier Encyclopedias and eLibrary at elem and middle school, I'd recommend both. Each has resources that fit well to 3rd up, as well as a lot of teacher support, prof dev. Also, consider making a good portal page for your school. Highly qualified (rigorously selected) resources that teachers, students, parents can use. ex: KidsClick and LII rather than a google, et al link. Kid entry points to museums, science news, NASA, art, authors, etc. -- Robert Eiffert Librarian, Pacific MS Vancouver WA pac.egreen.wednet.edu/library beiffert at comcast dot net, beiffert at egreen dot wednet dot edu Michele Burton wrote: >Hello, > >I am a new elementary librarian and am looking for some suggestions for some >useful educational databases to subscribe to for grades k-8th grade.
