[CASL-L] Resources for research on the Middle East

[Melissa Thom]

Good Morning!

I am working with the 7th grade Social Studies teachers and we are looking
for suggestions on where to find high quality, up-to-date resources on the
Middle East. Currently, students are doing country reports.  Much of the
print sources in our library are out of date, so looking for suggestions on
any titles to purchase, as well as electronic databases etc.

I have started to look into World Geo and Culture Online from Infobase and
Culture Grams from Gale--wondering what people think about those?

Thanks!!
