Electric Library

[Marbeth Cornelius <Marbeth_Cornelius@SLCR.WNYRIC.ORG>]

I would appreciate advice from those of you who have access to electronic text
available in your libraries.  I have some support from the current
administration to pursue spending $ to make this service available to students
and staff in both K-5 and 6-12 libraries.  We are networked, and have access to
the Internet from the libraries, several labs, and a small number of classrooms.
We are on one campus, with about 700 students in each building.  There is no
money for additional equipment to dedicate to running a CDROM application, and
we are not able to network CDROMs at this time.  I have heard great things about
Infonautics's Electric Library, which could be accessed through Netscape.

What service do you recommend?  What magazines do you recommend be ordered on a
subscription basis?  Our 6-12 LMC has never been used the way it could/should
be, and has been without a certified LMS during the current school year. I would
like to make research inviting and "easy" for both students and staff...

Please respond directly to me.  If there is enough interest I will post a Hit,
but not until end-of-year stuff is done!

Thanks for your help.  :-)
