- Daily Life: A Sure Hit for Middle School--Suite Will Greatly Expand Most Library Collections Brisco, Shonda Elementary Secondary Education Databases Social History Online Systems Bibliographic Databases Reference Materials Information Sources Computer Software Reviews One size does not fit all. For anyone who has ever tried to make something fit (especially when it won't), it's best to realize that the word "all" does not really mean "everyone." The same thing is true for subscription databases. While it might seem that all students in grades K-12 can benefit from the use of the database contents, in reality, the best fit may actually be for a smaller segment of the entire population. This article describes Big Picture Greenwood's Daily Life Online suite of social history databases which provides librarians with a combination of three reference-filled resources for students in a one-stop search environment. Daily Life Online, World Cultures Today, and the soon-to-be released World Folklore and Folklife can be purchased as stand-alone databases or as a suite of resources that provide federated searching across the content for a wealth of materials on history, people, economics, religion, cultures, and more. This suite of databases fits middle school students the best.
