<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=blue face=Calibri><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:blue'>Hopefully you have had time to get to
know the Gale databases. If so, you might have questions about when to
use one over another with students since six databases are specifically
designed for K12 learners. Basically, Kids InfoBits stands alone and is
geared for K-5. These five databases are geared towards middle and high
schoolers: Junior Reference Collection, Discovering Collection, InfoTrac
Junior, InfoTrac Student, and Student Resource Center Gold. While each of
these five databases stands alone, many are included in other databases. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=blue face=Calibri><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:blue'>The two attachments explain the
relationships and features of the databases aimed at K12. For example,
you’ll learn that if you just want a limited number of reference sources
for middle schoolers, start with Junior Reference Collection. However, if
you want that <i><span style='font-style:italic'>and</span></i> content from
periodicals, use InfoTrac Junior. If a student can manage a large number
of results, use Student Resource Center Gold.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
