We have had online databases for the last three years and I have made them
an important part of my library curriculum. I can truly make each child
successful with these databases. This year our principal wants me to
eliminate some of my databases, unless I can convince him they are
absolutely necessary. Money is very tight here and he needs to use the money
for other things. I want to keep all my databases because they are
wonderful. ("Wonderful and successful" doesn't convince him.) I did a
statistical accounting of each database for the last year and came up with
usage statistics, which I plan to give to him. Has anyone else fought this
battle and kept their online databases? Would you share with me your written
documentation and how to present the statistics in such a way that we don't
have to give online databases up. Thank you so much for our help.
