Madaleine Quick question: are the subscription databases available at the SCGS Library listed anywhere on the Web site or in the catalog? I'm volunteering at an event there this weekend and would like to know what I'll have to work with. Thanks in advance for any information you're able to provide!

Ah, there it is, right under my nose. I did not consume my usual dose of caffeine this morning, and I looked only at the sidebar instead of the main page. Thanks so much for directing me to the right place, and including the information here as well! Looking forward to Sunday with the Girl Scouts.
