Hi,

I know purchasing it was a must for us.  We use the  Gale "In Context" databases constantly.  Specifically Biography, World History, US History and Science in Context.  I also really like Academic OneFile and Discovering Collection.  I hope that helps.

I'm curious if people are going with Gale's Recovery Package.  I've poked around in the Ebsco products but don't have much time by my lonesome here.  Obviously, it would make the transition easier if my budget was unlimited.

Please share any experience and thoughts!

Thanks,

Sara

Besides iConn, we use Issues and Controversies from Facts on File.  I also have their Issues and Controversies in American History.  I encourage the use of our subscription to Encyclopedia Britannica as an alternate to Wikipedia that also gives a link to “the Web’s Best Sources” on all of its topics.  The expensive databases, the New York Times Historical Database and Ebsco’s Literary Reference Center are essential to Junior research projects in Social Studies and English.

We are reviewing our databases.  I was wondering what are your top two databases that are used by your students?  Thanks for your input.
