Selection:
I selected this database because teenagers will be working on their papers, and can use some advice on how to construct their research papers from an expert. There are many subjects included and professionals in the field so this database is a good resource for all students. I especially like the live help feature, because it can be helpful during the initial stages of the writing process when they are working on the organizational and thematic features of the paper.
