Summary and
Evaluation: The Gale Virtual Reference Library is a powerhouse for one-stop
reference needs. With over 7000 customizable reference titles from Cambridge,
Wiley, Sage, Gale and roughly 80 other publishers, this database can be catered
to fit the needs of teens. The PowerSearch interface is clean and easy to do
basic and advanced searches and the results are intuitively displayed in html
format, so that page breaks and images look like they are right out of a
printed page. Another great feature is the ability to build a custom collection
for specific user groups. Visual customizations are useful, too. The browsing
tools are a breeze and laid out in a very slick and minimalist style. This
award winning database is all a student needs for high school research
projects.
Reason for Selection:
GVRL won Best Overall Database from School Library Journal.
