IConn provides all Connecticut students access to many databases and countless numbers of articles, journals, books, and information that most students otherwise would not have. Aside from the cost issue, most students wouldn't have access to, or know how to find this hidden web. Access to information like this ensures digital equity in CT. Regardless of income level, academic level, or gender, all students have the same access.
As a teacher, some of the resources I might use are the Discovery Collection, Student Resource Center-Gold, Biography Resource Center and the Kids Infobits. As a student, I wish that I had know about IConn before because it would have been a great resource for academic journal articles that are very difficult to find for free. This is a very valuable resource.
