If you are familiar with EBSCOhost and wide array of research tools they provide, then we have exciting news for you.
From the Reaching Across Illinois Library System (or RAILS): "In June, it was announced that the contract was finalized with EBSCO to provide a suite of resources available to all Illinois communities at no charge. A full list of the EBSCO resources is attached." (Here's that list)
