[aisle] More ?s abt databases

[Aimee Miller]

We have both Gale and EBSCO and love them both for different reasons.
EBSCO (Explora) is great for searching current information on a wide
variety of topics.  The advanced search feature is excellent for using
keywords to find specific articles - better than Gale I would say.  Not as
pretty as Gale though.  I really like my rep and he has been super
helpful.
