Re: [LM_NET] TARGET: SEC Online Science Databases

["Cochran, Sally" <SaCochran@CCSD.WS>]

I looked at eScience and was less than impresses.  I have a background
in science and my husband is a research scientist.  I did a lot of
searching for NYS geology.  I came up with articles on musical groups on
the Staten Island ferry, the geology of Saskatewan, Canada, and only 1
or 2 useful items for New York.  I would avoid it.  I did look at Access
Science and I think we will go with that.  It isn't a collection of
articles as such, but provides a wealth of information similar to what
you would get with a specialized encyclopedia.

Subject: [LM_NET] TARGET: SEC Online Science Databases

Hello, All:
 
I'm in the process of trying to choose an online Science database for
the teachers and students at my high school.
 
Does anyone have experience with either ProQuest eLibrary Science or
Facts on File Science Online that you could share?  Or is there another
one that you can recommend?
 
Thanks for your help.
