ICONN - "Connecticut Digital Library"

IConn helps insure digital equity because it is FREE. Schools that have to manage with small budgets are able to gain access to the same information as schools with more funds. It is a great step to making sure there is digital equity. It is really impressive how many resources there are on IConn. I know that as a Library Media Specialist, this will be an incredible asset.
There are many resources that I will use: Junior and Student Edition, Popular Magazines, Biography in Context, etc. My favorite was "Student Resource in Context", it was full of great pictures and was very easy to use. The home page features updated topic guides for: Biography, Geography, Government, Literature, History, Social Issues, and Science. The site was very appealing, I think students would enjoy exploring the site to find information and resources.
