[LM_NET] TAR: Online Databases

Hi everyone.  I am in need of the benefit of your experience and wisdom.  For 
several years our district has paid for us to have access to the Gale Group Online. 
 This year they have decided not to renew it.  We've been asked to meet September 
12th and bring recommendations for a different choice.  Three that have been 
mentioned are TexShare, ProQuest, and Questia.

I've previously gotten a lot of information on Questia from you all, but would 
really appreciate any feedback on you can give on ProQuest and TexShare.  Have you 
used them?  Do you like them?  Are they comparable with Gale Group?  


Thanks in advance.
