Due to shrinking budgets, I have subscribed to fewer and fewer magazines. I have
stopped buying teacher periodicals and have continued to order only those student
magazines that get read. The academic serials have given way to Nickelodean and
Disney Adventures. It is a way to get my reluctant readers to read. Our data bases
get used for research.
