[AISLE-Share] Research databases

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

We use Gale products here too.  I love the federated search which is one
box where students can put a simple search term and hit all the databases
that you subscribe to at one time.  Then they can fine tune the search as
needed.  The search box has seriously boosted usage levels in all the
databases.  The Gale products work with Google Drive and Microsoft.
