[CALIBK12] Query: Great Neck Publishing

[Suzanne Davies]

I recently received an offer from EBSCO to replace my Gale and ProQuest databases at a discount.  While the offer seems nice during this budget crunch, I looked into the databases being proposed and the vast majority of the articles are from Great Neck Publishing.  I had never heard of this publisher and so I looked them up -- no website, no ISBNs, nothing.  Now, while I really like saving money, I'm not sure my students will benefit from this content.  Has anyone actually heard of this publisher?  Can you share more info?  I looked up one of the authors who wrote an article on abortion in the Points of View database and he's a 20 year blogger!  Other books in the database are childrens books.  Not really the kind of credentials I want my students to cite.

Much appreciated and Happy Easter everyone!
