Mary Ann,
(I tried to send this directly to you, but it bounced back.)
I am in Georgia and our state database resource is called GALILEO. We have
lost some databases, but others have been added. In my opinion, the ones
that we lost were more higher academic related. We gained some for the K-12
group.

Subject: [LM_NET] TARGET: State Funded Informational Databases for K-12
students
> In Fall 2003 I submitted a query about state funded databases provided

> and learned that only one other state, Oregon, had lost funding during
