Hi - I am re-evaluating my ebook choices and could use some help. Four
years ago I subscribed to Proquest's ebrary because they were offering a
good price. It's worked well - nice interface and lots of useful titles -
but there are a large number of books that have no relevance to high school
research. In the meantime I subscribed to EBSCO Discovery which doesn't
search Proquest products. Now I'm considering switching to EBSCO High
School collection which is lots cheaper, searchable in Discovery, and seems
like it will be more relevant to my students. If you have done a recent
comparison, or if you are currently using EBSCO ebooks can you please give
me some feedback on their product?

Thanks - Cathy
