Magazines need to be looked at for pleasure reading as well as research. One caution: at my school 2/3 of the magazines were pulled because of the ads in the back. Many of them could lead a student into a dangerous situation (pen pal with a convict).

I als= o have changed the number and types of magazines we subscribe to. We have Newsbank for many of the titles students use for research. I do still get= Time and Newsweek because I also think they need the news titles. Plus, with the print copy we get all of the pictures and graphs plus students c= an browse them for project ideas. In my school, students don't browse the "CAR" magazines very much and I have cut down to one title. I am wonderin= g if this is true at other schools. I did get the magazine "Games" but dropped it since students didn't use i= t. I would like to get a good computer gaming title but haven't found one th= at comes reliably. I have in the past bought some titles from the store then looked to see i= f students used them. Sports Illustrated for Girls and Girl magazine were t= wo that worked out this way. I am thinking about getting Oprah. After looking at a couple of issues it= seemed like it might be a good substitute for Seventeen. = So, I guess I have three questions - are other secondary schools finding car magazines not as popular, what is a good gaming magazine, is Oprah a good title for my collection? = Deborah J.
