[aisle] [*EXTERNAL*] Gale db for science classes?

[Renee Kozeal]

We have Gale in Context: High School, and I would agree that it really only
has basic science content, mostly reference. Very weak on science journal
articles. I think we did a trial of In Context: Science from Gale when we
added a dual credit course recently, and it still was not stellar. However,
our Science department doesn't seem to need them, so we get along fine with
what we have.
