[ISLMA-Share] World Book Advanced vs. Culture Grams

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Hi,

When I started my present position here in the high school, they were
already subscribed to World Book Advanced as a database.

This year, I have had a teacher request Culture Grams, which I am much more
familiar with. While its audience is directed to middle grades, I still
think many Freshmen and Sophomores are not above it in their Lexile levels.

Does anyone have experience with both databases? I am not impressed with
World Book Advanced's user interface, but the information presented is
valid. I do like its features, too, but Culture Grams is much more enticing
and user-friendly.

Thank you if you have experience with either, if you could weigh in, please.
(Worried that Culture Grams might be too juvenile for high school).


Warmly,

Lori McGreal
