From the supplier: Cash-strapped schools appreciate the advantages of the millions of free Web sites available, but the difficulty of navigating vast amounts of information leads to hidden costs. Subscription-based sites add value by providing deep content in particular subject areas. ABC-CLIO is launching five new fee-based sites in topics ranging from American history to geography. Both free and subscription sites offer unprecedented access to information, but information is not knowledge; those evaluating a subscription site should consider how well it builds a bridge between information and knowledge. ABC-CLIO offers lesson plans, discussion quizzes, handouts, projects and other resources for educators. Some educators want an open environment that lets them view everything the Net has to offer, while others prefer a secure, closed environment with quick access to the most authoritative information. Access-related issues include access control, equipment, and payment schemes for site subscriptions. Subscription sites support enhanced community building and hold the content publisher accountable for service quality.
