Thing - 13 Subscription Databases
In thinking about subscription databases, I always think about the ones the District provides and how little many seem to use them; or, even explore them in all the ways in which they can be appreciated.
The Grolier Online Database brings to mind the day when you considered a set of encyclopedias in competition with an online version of the same thing. At first I thought the online version was ridiculous because each person could actually handle a letter of the alphabet with that volume in their hands whereas online there was only room for one person on the computer. However, when the person who had a particular volume and wanted it copied, it would be necessary to run to a copy machine. Thus, the supposed savings of paper in printing the set would be lost to the printing demands.
Grolier Online is easier to use, shows you how to cite the article in a pop-up menu.
Grolier has many other cites in an article's information provided with more information as well as in pictures and weblinks.
It's fun and easy.
