I had Destiny with WebPath prior to my current position and I really liked it. We are in the process of moving to Destiny now and will not be getting WebPath Express because we already pay for Nettrekker. I am not entirely thrilled with Nettrekker because we tell the kids not to use Wikipedia as a source and it is always listed high in Nettrekker results. I don't recall that issue in WebPath Express. I find it difficult to insist students not use Wikipedia when it is prominently displayed in a paid database/directory we are encouraging them to use for research.
