[CALIBK12] databases for middle school

[Joan McCall]

I have a link to the San Bernardino County libraries on my Web site  
(URL below). I don't know if anyone uses it, but I do show it to  
students. I have used it myself successfully in the past. We subscribe  
to Grolier Online (the County has World Book so I thought it would  
expand the options). I also have a number of Thomson Gale ebooks for  
reference. (I purchased the print versions and the rights to the  
digital version are via a very cost effective subscription).
