<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:blue">Hi. Earlier this month, I announced that Gale is consolidating several databases into a new product for students in grades 6-8. The new middle school database now has a name: Research
In Context. The interface will be very similar to that of the other In Context products – like Opposing Viewpoints, Students Resources In Context, and U.S. History In Context – with a few intentional but minor differences. Read more about it on the
<a href="http://blog.gale.com/support-middle-school-researchers-with-engaging-new-resource/">
Gale blog</a>, the <a href="http://gale.com/researchincontext">Research In Context product page</a>, or

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:blue">Research In Context should be available in the Gale common menu (for example, by
<a href="http://secondary.oslis.org/find-information">clicking on PowerSearch</a>) by the beginning of June.
</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#C0504D">The databases that were consolidated will be removed from Oregon accounts as of July 1<sup>st</sup></span><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:blue">.

<br>
Here's advance notice that Gale will release a <b><i>new product for middle school
</i></b>grade levels (6-8) in late spring, and Oregon will switch over to the new offering in the summer. This yet-to-be-named database will bring together content from and
<b><i>replace</i></b> <b><i>the following databases</i></b>: Discovering Collection, Junior Reference Collection, Student Resource Center Junior (different from Student Resources In Context, which is not changing), and InfoTrac Junior.<br>
<br>
The new middle school database will feature a modern interface and tool set consistent with Gale’s In Context products. Content will be cross-disciplinary, focusing on core curriculum areas of literature, science, and U.S. and world history. Features will also
include alignment to curriculum standards and a mobile responsive design. <br>
<br>
Please give appropriate staff a heads up about this major Gale update. <br>
<br>
Questions? Please ask.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
