Instead we are interested in quality. Our well-trained, knowledgeable staff carefully selects articles to assure that the information is reliable, relevant and not redundant. Our database for each product is designed with the rationale of providing resources as a basis for gaining knowledge. Eleanor will answer questions about education, SIRS, intellectual freedom and current issues via e-mail. It's a great opportunity for teachers and librarians to pick the brain of one of the true pioneers of educational publishing.
Some databases are mass produced.
Some databases are developed off-shore using assembly type procedures to collect information. At SIRS, our databases are carefully selected and have been acquired over many years so that an issue can be followed through its entire timeframe. You can get the complete story about thousands of issues with all of their ramifications. Our researchers actively seek out the articles that represent all sides of an issue. The articles must be interesting, well-written and credible.
