My students totally get the idea of "premium content," of subscription/fee-based sources, and they love that they get access to those in the library. That works a lot better for me than anything like "use library databases because they're vetted for quality." (And really, I think it should work better - they know a lot of the professional, scholarly & expert information IS out there on the web) But I love the idea of making it easier for them to tell each other about that - I'm going to have to think about that a lot more -- thanks!
