NCES and Gale Publishing Company have been working on putting together for the North Country area a consortium for the purchase of Gale Virtual Reference Library. I was positively impressed by the presentation and several schools are already on board.
Please use this link for the free trial.
I suggest to start with the video basics in the help area and then invite teachers and students to use it and get their feedback. Pricing is not finalized yet but it sounded very accessible. My impression is that this has the potential for completely replacing the print reference collection of the typical Elem, MS and HS library. Please note that this trial will end on Feb 26 and will be replaced by a longer one at this point. Also, it includes more than just the GVRL collection. Focus on this one only! Don;t hesitate to contact me if you have any question.
