Preview the New GVRL Interface

"Sneak peek it now…enjoy it soon!

Get your first glance at the amazing-looking, function-filled, user-driven, cross-searchable, extreme-makeovered Gale Virtual Reference Library, coming this fall!

Based on feedback from librarians and patrons, we took the best features from GVRL, added amazing upgrades, and put it all together in a new, eye-catching package.

User Interface-lift
Your users will see a UI that looks like their favorite websites.
• Book covers grace the homepages, browsing is easier and more intuitive, and the entire interface is available in 35+ languages.
• User-focused navigation encourages researchers to stay longer, search deeper and find what they need faster.
And once they find the eReference they want, users can enjoy multi-page viewing for the "book" experience, text-to-speech technology in 19 languages, text translation into 13 languages, and plenty of Web 2.0 share tools.

See it in action before your migration
You'll receive GVRL migration information later this season, but get a sneak peek right now."

New JSTOR Collections

Exciting news!! We've added two JSTOR collections, Arts & Sciences III and Biological Sciences.

"Arts & Sciences III includes journals in languages and literature, as well as essential titles in the fields of music, film studies, folklore, performing arts, religion, and the history and study of art and architecture. Additional interdisciplinary titles broaden the scope of coverage to include folklore, feminist & women's studies."

"The Biological Sciences Collection brings together the 29 journals available in our existing Ecology & Botany Collection with more than 130 titles that span the sciences. The collection is particularly strong in ecology and evolutionary biology, plant and animal sciences, paleontology, and conservation."
