<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">The FactCite Lincoln Library is a great resource. It is well written, and the best part as far as I'm concerned, is the customer service! I have had students write them questions, even questioning their sources, and they have written back to them. I have requested more information on a topic and they have assisted me. It is a stellar company.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">Just a word about Lightbox products: if the timeliness of the information is of importance (global warming, disease, science, etc., where currency is paramount) then look closely. The copyright year attached to Lightboxes is the year they put the components together, not the copyright of the material contained in the Lightbox. When I looked into one of the global warming topics, they used content from an old book (which I had at the time). It didn't have a current copyright date. Also (and this may have changed because after several looks a couple of years apart, nothing had improved) they don't put in bibliographic information for the facts, just for images/videos. They are very cool products and I wish they would document all the contents, because if they addressed the currency and bibliography issue, I would buy them.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jun 3, 2020 at 1:07 PM Kathy McCoy via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">Hello, <br clear="all"></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">I have been asked by my district to look into digital resources for this upcoming school year for grades K-5.
