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.....
