[LM_NET] HS:Tech:Need suggestions for subscription database to order

[Marian Royal <MRoyal@SOCORRO.K12.NM.US>]

Hello again, Netters:

Two days ago, I was notified by my Central Office that they are willing to fund one 
or two online information databases for the coming year.  Unfortunately, the 
paperwork has to be in by tomorrow.  I've already submitted an order for Facts on 
File's Science Online, but am now trying to decide on a good general reference 
database suitable for a high school library serving grades 9-12.   My choice is 
ProQuest Platinum, but anything over $1500 has to put out on bid and I don't want 
to do that.  Can anyone out there recommend a really good database that has a 
subscription rate of less than $1500 a year?  Thanks so much for your help.
