<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Julie Pepera, a fabulous trainer from Gale, sent a sample list of Black History Month resources available in Gale. If the attachment does not come through for you and you want a copy, let me know.
The document was geared towards K12, but you could create bookmarks to specific content in any of the Gale databases. Some libraries feature a database of the month, and others feature content related to certain holidays or events. Promoting specific resources
for Black History Month by tying that to content in <i>U.S. History in Context</i> or specific eBooks in
<i>GVRL</i>, for example, seems like a great way to accomplish both goals. For more about creating Gale bookmarks, read this archived Libs-Or message or view this short Gale tutorial:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
