There are a few ways to find NGK content in GIC: Elementary. The easiest approach is to click on the Pictures, Videos, or Magazines tab at the top of the GIC: Elementary homepage. Note that while Books is a tab option, NGK books are not included in that tab
for technical reasons that relate to restrictions </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#2F5496">National Geographic</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#2F5597"> has on its content. However, all NGK content types, including books, are discoverable
