Thing 13-Subscription Databases

Last week, I started trying to find reliable resources on genocide as it relates to Native Americans. I also wanted to compare that with the Holocaust. This search is to find materials for the classroom assignments Jim & Eric are using this spring. I tried both Proquest & EBSCO, and was disappointed in the lack of easy hits. I will be experimenting with different search terms. Most of the articles I found were too academic or only on the WWII Holocaust. It is a great concept for the students, and should make for interesting research. This is the tip of the iceberg in terms of research, I hope. It would be great to be able to create a webquest for this assigment.
