[LM_NET] A databse by any other name

["Gehrig, Jody" <Jody_Gehrig@DPSK12.ORG>]

Hi,

We have subscriptions to several great subscription databases (EBSCO,
Newsbank, Britannica, etc), but find they continue to be the best kept
secret in the District despite our efforts to inform.  I think students
and teachers would use them if they understood what they are.  We are
trying to think of a cool descriptive sort of name for the group of
databases.  For instance, kids know Google, but don't know Newsbank.  I
even think they understand the words "search engine" more than they know
"database".  I know there are wonderful creative librarians out there in
LM_Net land who can help.
