[AISLE-Share] Research databases

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

I second our appreciation with Gale.  We have both Resources in Context and
Research in Context, as well as Opposing Viewpoints in Context for both the
MS and the HS.  This is our first year with Gale after a decade with SIRS
from ProQuest.  Feel free to contact me off list if you want to discuss
differences in those platforms.
