[Libs-Or] New Interface for Gale Virtual Reference Library

[Jennifer Maurer]

Soon Gale will launch a new interface for Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL). Some of the new features include images of book covers, a detailed subject tree, the ability to search across a series more easily, and the option to read articles in two-page view, which more closely resembles reading a book. Note that the actual content, or the eBooks in GVRL, will not change.

Oregon accounts associated with the Statewide Database Licensing Program will be switched to the new GVRL interface on December 1st. For a preview of the new look and features, watch this 3-minute introduction: https://www.brainshark.com/gale/vu?pi=zGmz12KqiEz3T3Uz0&<https://www.brainshark.com/gale/vu?channel=Eloqua&elq_mid=1097&elq_cid=116398&pi=zGmz12KqiEz3T3Uz0&>.

Between now and the switchover, there are three webinars scheduled to demo the new GVRL interface. All trainings are free, but you must register for them in advance.

Recall that for those who might purchase additional eBooks for GVRL, Gale can help merge the two eBook accounts so patrons only have to search one GVRL instance. If you have questions about that, contact Gale technical support (column on right).

P.S. Please pardon any funky formatting. I'm using webmail, and I'm done fighting with it. :-)
