[CASL-L] Recommendation for databases

[Elizabeth Mueller]

Remember!  All of your students can access a myriad of databases if they
all have a public library card. Schools can also get institutional cards
from their local public libraries. Add a shortcut on your school library
webpage to link students to a secure/password protected log-in to those
databases.  Also, make sure you know what topics and research projects
your teachers have planned for the coming school year! That ought to drive
your purchase & selection process.
Just a thought.
