Priceless

Yesterday I wrote about Google's new News Archive Search. Then I read a blog posting by school librarian Jacquie that made me want to emphasize another spin on the topic. Yes, much of the content on the news archive is free, but a whole lot of the articles cost money. And many folks who use the archive will not realize that they can access exactly the same content online by using the subscription databases provided by their libraries -- and not have to pay one dime! As Jacquie says:

Price of 1 article from the New York Times? $4.95.
Price of the 30 articles needed this year for your classroom or your grad course? $148.50.
The value of no charge access from libraries?
Priceless!
