[CASL-L] Databases& Research Tools - report

[Juliann T. Moskowitz]

We have over 20 databases including the ones for free from iConn. They can all be seen here:

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.

alone in accomplishing this mission. --Toni Morrison

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.

Subject: [CASL-L] Databases - reportHey 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.
