Online databases...

Last week I renewed the PHS subsription to Facts on File a.k.a. FACTS.com

The service provides students a tremendous amount of information! Articles in any major periodical since 1950 with an emphasis on Current Events. If you need information from periodicals about anything historical and don't want to wade through archives of major news sites this baby is your solution! www.facts.com

Also last week I purchased a year subscription to the multimedia archive of the Associated Press. The Associated Press has been in existence since the 1870's. Their entire database of photos, graphics, audio transcripts, and text articles have been digitized and added to their online database! Students looking for key pieces such as these to support a speech, presentation, or report will love this!! http://ap.accuweather.com/apphoto/index.htm
