Gale Virtual Reference

I am using this all the time for reference questions now. It is fantastic. Topics like the Olympic Games in Ancient Greece...mostly for school project topics. It's my "go to" databse now and I feel so confident that I will find information on the topic, no matter what it is. I'm so glad that I got to use this and get familiar with it.

Videohound and GVRL

I used the Videohound book to look up a favorite movie. I had forgotten the title, but it was directed by Steven Spielberg, so I found it under his name as the director. Then, I went to Videohound in GVRL and put in Steven Sielberg and didn't find the movie. I found it under its name.....I have to try again and see what the story is. Oh, the movie is: "Emperor of the Sun."

Gale virtual reference

Holy Cow! I've been looking through all of the contents of this database and I'm amazed. I was just looking at all of the information about Colonial America since kids here in Barnegat just finished working on projects about this period in American History. I will definitely use it often when I'm at the reference desk and I want to show my staff the contents during a staff meeting. I enjoyed the article about hairstyles of the 60s. I had to see how accurate it was, since I lived through that era. I didn't see anything about "falls". I just have to add that this is somewhat overwhelming. It's getting into the right mindset...this is a collection of books, not a collection of information. Look for th book that will have the information that you want.....
