That Expensive Database We're Mad About

Tom Emmert has students in two of his courses looking at the New York Times and the Readers Guide (maybe the same assignment Amy blogged about?) but he apparently insisted in class they had to use microfilm. I am not sure he knows about the Historical database so I e-mailed him to tell him it was just as good and really expensive so they'd better use it!

All is well - I heard from a student that he did officially sanction use of the Proquest database. They still have to cope with Reader's Guide though!
