[ISLMA-Share] Databases

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

ABC-CLIO are the most used databases where I teach. They really work cross
curricular, but especially well in social studies and as novel prep. Some
classes have started using them in place of a textbook. For English
classes, I think the best is Gale Literature.  Personally I like Gale
better than EBSCO, but I know I have teachers who feel just the opposite.
Please email me off list if you have any further question.
