Re: ELEM/MID-->Online Subscription Databases

[Robert Eiffert <beiffert@COMCAST.NET>]

We do Ebsco's Searchasaurus and Proquest's Big Chalk for elem, Ebsco
Host,Proquest,elibrary, and SIRS for middle.
We do Grolier NBK, GME, and AtB for elem. Add EA, PS, LB for middle, Same
set for HS.  HS gets an additional Science and History DBs (possibly Gale).
All have access to NetTrekker.

The equity piece is a good thing. But make sure training, tech, and
discussion why purchasing is equitable also. Lots of great resources for the
kids (and teachers and admin) within all the DBs.
