At Bristol Eastern High School we subscribe to Proquest&#39;s SIRs suite of 4 databases. I&#39;ve come to prefer their presentation of &quot;Issues&quot; to opposing viewpoints. They have great overviews and timelines for the issues. Not to mention they provide example research questions with supporting links for both sides.  I pooled my budget with our other high school and our middle schools for it. <div><br></div>My only other database is CQ researcher. <div><br></div><div>As for Noodletools v Easybib, I just shared my feelings the other day with one media specialist, but I&#39;ll pass them along here as well. </div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);font-size:small"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);font-size:small">I&#39;ve been troubled by EadyBib&#39;s propensity for inaccurate/incomplete</span><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);font-size:small"> citations for a long time.

<div>Hey folks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I&#39;m looking for a research that highlights (reports on) the most subscribed to databases for high schools. Bottom-line, I&#39;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&#39;m a bit behind. </div>
