[ISLMA-Share] Research database-What to Use?

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

FactCite <http://lincolnlibrarypress.myshopify.com/> is one of my favorite
databases for students for a number of reasons.  The first is the
responsiveness of their staff.  They actually answer your questions
*quickly*.  It is an extremely user-friendly platform, the quality of
information is very good, it is reasonably priced, and it has begun a
"Beginner" section for younger students.  If you have limited dollars to
spend, it is an excellent investment.
