The best ones are the ones that your teachers and students will use. I think it varies by the type of research they do. I've been in a few different schools and I feel like I'm always trying to convince the students to use the databases and have their teachers require them to do so.
Re: EasyBib vs. Noodle Tools. Our school had a subscription to Easy Bib before I got here. It lapsed and when I contacted them to renew, no one got back to me so I went with NoodleTools which I like a lot and it was almost $200 cheaper for my school than EasyBib.

When I looked into both they seemed very similar. I went with EasyBib and I LOVE it! Also iConn now directly imports its citations into EasyBib.

Our current line up:
Infobase: Blooms Literature, Today's Science News, Issues & Controversies in Amer Hist, Mod World Hist Online
(like Bloom's Lit, Science and Amer Hist, I'm not as impressed w World Hist- find it harder to search thru)
Proquest: eLibrary and SIRS
Just trying NoodleTools this year... it seems far more complicated than EasyBib
Any comments on NoodleTools and EasyBib?

Subject: [CASL-L] Databases - report
Hey folks,
I'm looking for a research that highlights (reports on) the most subscribed to databases for high schools. Bottom-line, I'm reevaluating my database subscriptions and want to know which databases are the most relied upon for High Schools. Anyone seen anything like this in our professional journals? I'm a bit behind.
Current Subscriptions at Stafford HS:
CultureGrams (ProQuest)
Opposing Viewpoints (Gale)
Issues and Controversies (Infobase)
Grolier (Scholastic)
Thanks! Happy Friday.
