Re: [LM_NET] TAR:Web Path Express- Destiny

[Cheryl Youse <cyouse@GMAIL.COM>]

I had Destiny with WebPath prior to my current position and I really liked
it.  We are in the process of moving to Destiny now and will not be getting
WebPath Express because we already pay for Nettrekker.  I am not entirely
thrilled with Nettrekker because we tell the kids not to use Wikipedia as a
source and it is always listed high in Nettrekker results.  I don't recall
that issue in WebPath Express.  I find it difficult to insist students not
use Wikipedia when it is prominently displayed in a paid database/directory
we are encouraging them to use for research.
