[ISLMA-Share] Best Databases for Middle School

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We are looking into getting Britannica - it's so much more beyond an
encyclopedia with level 1,2,3 for reading.  It is sectioned off by
elementary, middle and high school.  Plus, there are recommended websites &
articles that go beyond just the encyclopedia.  Through our free trial
teachers also enjoyed that students didn't need to run to google, but could
have reliable sources.  good luck!
