News from Gale/Cengage

Gale/Cengage, the producer of the databases which the State Library provides through El Portal, is announcing two major developments:   a revision to the Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL) and a completely redesigned New Mexico Technical Support website.

GVRL is one of the most searched databases in our Gale/Cengage package.  The new interface will contain a more digital book look and experience, with book covers, two-page view, and page flipper.  GVRL will remain cross-searchable with other Gale databases.  Migration date is January 3, 2012.  For a trial, go to:  http://www.galetrials.com/default.aspx?TrialID=23306;ContactID=55578
