Magazines Online, the free Gale InfoTrac databases for NM libraries, include three databases especially for youth: Kids InfoBits for elementary students, Junior Edition for junior high students, and School Edition for high school students. These are great resources that you can use with your young patrons; they include articles and reference sources especially for the age groups of each database.
