<p class="MsoNormal"> Our small school (grades 6-12) has enjoyed 2 trial research database subscriptions for Sept., Explora & Gale. (Actually, we get Explora through Oct.!) NOW, I want to approach our administration to see if the school district might
fund all or part of a subscription to one of these. The cost of a subscription would wipe out my tiny library budget. I could scrabble together some grant $ and/or do some crowd-funding to cover part of the cost, but I really feel the district (which doesn't
buy textbooks anymore in our building) should cover the cost.<o:p></o:p></p>
