I did not receive the specific link to the web page I believe I had viewed on comparisons between subscription databases and Google. I will include some hits which did attempt to compare the use of these two sources when seeking information. Here is a link http://www.proquestk12.com/lsm/pqelib/pdfs/elibgooglecompare.pdf There may be some other links that are useful to you here. http://www.proquestk12.com/productinfo/elibrary_elementary.shtml Pat Elliott Resource Teacher Library, Social Studies, History, Geography, Canadian & World Studies SCDSB 1170 Hwy 26 Midhurst, Ontario L0L 1X0 705-734-6363 ext. 1232 fax 705-728-2265 pelliott@scdsb.on.ca http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/InvisibleWeb.html will this help? I have created these exhibits to help our sales reps help librarians justify the subscription to digital library learning resources (we're trying to wean ourselves away from the word "databases"). Even though they are proprietary, you can adapt them for your needs. eLibrary <http://www.proquestk12.com/productinfo/pdfs/eLibraryvsPrintLibraryvsGoogle. pdf> vs. Print Library vs. Google This chart compares the effectiveness of these three resources used by students and teachers for school research activities. The clear edge is for eLibrary because of Bookcarts, QuizCarts, Lexiles, and Standards correlated resources. eLibrary <http://www.proquestk12.com/productinfo/pdfs/eLibraryvsnetTrekkerGoogle.pdf> vs. netTrekker vs. Google This guide helps to compare three resources that are used in schools for student research. The clearly superior choice is eLibrary because of Bookcarts, QuizCarts, Lexiles, and Standards correlated resources, as well as millions of copyrighted articles and resources not available on netTrekker.
