Try It Illinois
Have you looked at any of the databases in the
Try It Illinois? There
are so many to check out it is hard to tell just where to start. I found
databases on Newspapers both current and historical; encyclopedias both
general and subject specific; products for children’s books that can be
viewed online with text and voice, and numerous databases on specific
topics. I was astounded by the many databases listed.
If you are a library with databases and are looking to
expand your offerings take a look at
Try It. Do you have a
database that does not seem to fit your library user needs, look at
Try It for an
alternative? Has a database been priced out of your budget, and you want an
alternative? Check out Try It!
Your library has never purchased an online database, and you have no idea
what is our there, or how they operate; then log in to
Try It Illinois.
I had a few issues in logging into some of the
databases. But for most I had no problems. If you have any questions about
Try It Illinois
contact Gwen
Harrison or call Gwen at 217-785-7334.
