[ISLMA-Share] research databases

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Hello. I just read this information about how some of you were able to
reduce your EBSCO subscription to high school only. I've tried to do that
but have been told I can't by EBSCO. If you have successfully reduced your
subscription to HS only, could you please tell me who you contacted at
EBSCO?

Thank you,
Amy Edrington
