Re: subscription database recommendations

Malena:

For us, the Gale DISCovering Collection of literary criticism is
invaluable.  ProQuest Platinum is also heavily used for periodicals.  SIRS
gets somewhat less use, but is needed because of its government and
historical back coverage, absent from ProQuest.  Opposing Viewpoints (also
a Gale product now) is excellent for , well, opposing viewpoints<G> on
topical issues.  Finally, Bridges and COIN are great for career
information, and COIN is a good choice for college information as well,
linked to career choices.
