[AISLE-Share] Research databases

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

We have Gale too! Love the integration with Google, since our student have
1:1 Chromebooks. We are 6-8 junior high and we have Student Resources in
Context, Opposing Viewpoints in Context and Informe Académico (Spanish
database).
