REF: New Gale Product Kid's InfoBits

[Library <library@HILLELDAYSCHOOL.ORG>]

Hi All!  I woud like feedback about appropriate online information sources.

I just received a promotional card from Gale about a new online information
source called Kid's InfoBits.  There is a 30-day free trial available by
registering at www.gale.com/gooseswild. It looks interesting and would fit
my school profile. Our student population includes preschool students,
elementary and middle school.

At present, my school library does not subscribe to anything and I was
wondering if this is a common situation. I would assume that there is a push
to have access to online reference sources so how does one choose?

I would appreciate any feedback about the value of online reference sources
(is this the future?) as part of a library collection and which databases to
consider.  Thank you.

Sincerely,
Sara Schandelson
