Formally Gale Virtual Reference Library, Gale eBooks is a database of encyclopedias and specialized reference sources for multidisciplinary research. These reference materials once were accessible only in the library, but now you can access them online from the library or remotely 24/7. Because each library creates its own eBook collection, the content you see may vary if you use the database at different libraries (your school, your public library, or your office).
A database is an online collection of resources. Databases often contain articles from newspapers, magazines and academic journals, but can also contain reference sources, books, reports and a variety of other resources. Databases are often grouped according to subject matter, like the Psychology & Behavioral Sciences Collection or the Natural Sciences Collection. To find relevant information in a database, you will need to conduct keyword searches. See the box to the left about keyword searching.
