I am re-examining my databases for next year with an eye on a tight budget and needier students. I have several from Infobase (Issues and Controversies, Health Reference Center, and Modern World History Online--$400-$500/year), as well as Gale in Context and Britannica. The reading level for Infobase is not particularly user-friendly for the majority of our student population but is cheaper than alternatives.
Am I missing anything?
Thanks!
Sara
