choosing news databases

[Barbara Haynes <bhaynes@SSD.K12.MN.US>]

I am trying to select a newspaper/magazine  database for our high
school/middle school, and our elementary librarian is looking at some
also.  We are caught between UMI's Proquest/ JuniorQuest/KidQuest vs.
Electric Library and NewsBank Curriculum Resource.  There is a vast
difference in pricing, and it appears that Electric Library gives the
most bang for the buck, but I'd like some input from those who have
used one or more of these and feel strongly about them.   Thanks.
