[CASL-L] Databases - report

[Earnshaw,Tracy]

I would go out to your teachers and ask them what they need.  I have curated my databases that way, so that they directly connect to curriculum and assignments in my building.  I have purchased others that I thought would be good, but when teachers didn’t use them, I abandoned them.  I have attached a list of what I have.

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.
