LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Last week I asked for suggestions for magazines on cd-rom. Several responses
were suggestions for databases such as SIRS or Newsbank. I am sorry for the
confusion as I was asking about titles for magazines in which the whole issue
is on cd-rom. If anyone has some more suggestions I will add them to the list.
I highly recommend Classroom Connect, 1866 Colonial Village Lane,
Lancaster, PA 17601-6704. This has worlds of lesson plans for
teachers and a great number of site addresses. A very practical
journal for using the Internet. Not sure of the price, around $30
or $40, I believe. Address is www.classroom.net
In 1994, I purchased the Time Almanac network version. I haven't
had the funds to upgrade it but I sure can't take it off the network.
The students love looking at it and playing the quiz that it has.
It sees plenty of usage.
I like Multimedia schools because of the educational sites. It has a
strong school emphasis although many teachers here also like Mac
User
I have used the CD-ROM magazine Proquest for the past 2 years and the
students love it. It is very user friendly and much easier to locate
materials than the Reader's Guide.
One other recommendation was for the cd-rom version of PC Computing
magazine.
